Common Questions

Do I really need a will?

Yes. Without a will, New Jersey intestacy laws determine who inherits your assets and who becomes guardian of minor children. A will ensures your wishes are followed.

What's the difference between a will and a trust?

A will takes effect at death and goes through probate. A trust can take effect immediately, often avoids probate, and provides more control over asset distribution. Many people benefit from having both.

How much does estate planning cost?

Simple wills start at reasonable flat fees. More complex plans with trusts cost more but provide significant benefits. We offer free consultations to discuss your needs and provide transparent pricing.

When should I update my estate plan?

Review your plan after major life events: marriage, divorce, births, deaths, significant asset changes, or moves to another state. We recommend reviewing every 3-5 years regardless.
