A will designates who inherits your property, names guardians for minor children (if applicable), and specifies who will manage your estate. It provides clarity and protects your loved ones, regardless of age.

A will directs asset distribution after death and goes through probate. A living trust allows you to control assets during your lifetime and transfer them privately after death, often avoiding probate.

A Power of Attorney designates someone to make financial and/or medical decisions if you become incapacitated. It’s crucial for ensuring your affairs are handled according to your wishes if you can’t do so yourself.

You should review your estate plan every 10 years, or after significant life events like marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or major financial changes.

New Jersey law dictates how your assets will be distributed, often to your closest relatives in a specific order. This may not align with your preferences.

We can make amendments to your existing will through a legal document called a codicil. This ensures your will remains up-to-date and accurately reflects your wishes without having to create an entirely new document. 

A simple will often raises questions of interpretation which must be resolved by expensive court proceedings.
