Personalized Estate Plans for Families Across New Jersey

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.
