Our New Jersey attorneys and New York attorneys handle all estate planning matters, including but not limited to the drafting of Wills, Powers of Attorneys, Living Wills and Advanced Directives, Intervivos and Testamentary Trusts, Special Needs Trusts, Revocable Trusts, Irrevocable Trusts and Medicaid Trusts. The type of documents you put into place are the essence of protecting your assets now and in the future.

In certain circumstances, you may want to protect minor children or adults from accessing funds from your Estate. A Trust may be the answer. At some point in your life, you may want to try to protect your assets from creditors, or you may have a need for protection in the event of a divorce. You may decide you want to transfer a family home or an investment property into a Trust during your lifetime. All of these lifetime experiences require an individual analysis, and specific legal advice tailored just for you.

Discussions with our attorneys will help you decide which documents are best suited for your needs. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can just use a Will or Trust from the internet. Many clients come into see us with preconceived notions as to what they think they need – often, they are incorrect or off the mark with their concepts. There is a lot to think about when creating these documents, and you should be fully informed by an experienced attorney as to what is out there, what the consequences are of what you are doing, and how these documents impact your life and your estate.

You need an experienced attorney to review your case, ask the right questions, and create the right documents for you. Using a generic or “cookie cutter” document is doing a disservice to you and your loved ones. Nothing can replace the years of legal experience we can bring to your specific situation. There is a cost to creating the right legal documents for you, but there most likely will be a savings in the long run. Doing the documents correctly, in the best way for your situation, will help ensure that your assets are protected, and distributed in accordance to your wishes.
