Creating an estate plan is an important process at any stage in one’s life and, depending on the client’s specific needs, may necessitate a variety of documents, among them a last will and testament, a living will/health care proxy, various trusts, a power of attorney, a qualified personal residence trust, a family limited partnership, a charitable foundation or a buy-sell agreement. This planning can be even more crucial when the client has a child with special needs.
Our New Jersey based firm provides thoughtful, strategic estate planning and administration services tailored to your unique life, family, and financial goals. Whether you are planning for the future, navigating probate, or addressing special needs considerations, we help ensure that your wishes are clearly documented and your loved ones are protected.
