ESTATE PLANNING, TRUST AND ESTATE ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED LITIGATION

Our attorneys prepare wills and trusts of all types and advise clients on advantageous techniques of property ownership and transfer to minimize taxes while achieving personal goals. We analyze personal and financial data, recommend alternative dispositions of assets, and review in detail the income and transfer tax consequences of particular decisions. Through the preparation of wills, living trusts, insurance trusts, charitable (split-interest) trusts, charitable private foundations, personal residence trusts, family limited partnerships and limited liability companies, powers of attorney, living wills, and the like, we provide individual attention while developing individual responses for each client.

The firm advises executors, trustees and beneficiaries regarding estate and trust administration issues, working in association with bank trust departments and trust investment companies throughout New Jersey, as well as in New York, Florida, and elsewhere. We also represent fiduciaries and beneficiaries in litigation involving estates and trusts.

For those seeking individual executors or trustees, where other appropriate persons are unavailable, members of the firm are qualified to act, and do act, as fiduciaries.

Our attorneys include three members of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, four members of The Best Lawyers in America (Trusts and Estates Section) and three members of New Jersey Super Lawyers (Estate Planning/Trusts Practice Area).
