Estate Litigation in NJ
At common law, an estate is the totality of the legal rights, interests, entitlements and obligations attaching
to property. In the context of wills and probate, it refers to the totality of the property which the deceased
owned or in which some interest was held. It may also refer to an estate in land.
Estate Planning in NJ
Estate planning helps a family or individual plan for the disposal of an estate in preparation of death. When
affairs are arranged ahead of time through an estate plan, uncertainties over the division of the remaining assets
are taken care of, taxes are reduced to maximize the value of the estate and plans for other expenses are handled.
To plan for the disposal of an estate before death, a lawyer will write a will that directs the distribution of real
and personal property to heirs. Other parts of estate planning include planning trusts, beneficiary designations,
powers of appointment, property ownerships, gifts and powers of attorney and are created by estate planning attorneys.
Estate Administration in NJ
When a friend or loved one passes away, the grieving process is difficult. Having an appointed estate administrator to
handle tedious details like estate distribution and debts payments allows you to breath easy, knowing that the estate
is being settled correctly.
The administrator of an estate makes sure that final debts, taxes and funeral expenses of the deceased are paid, distributes
the remainder of the estate according to the will of the deceased and ensures that special gifts are given to the correct
individuals as directed by the will.
