New Jersey Wills, Power of Attorney and Living Wills
Estate planning is an ongoing process that should be updated as your life
circumstances adjust through various stages of your life: marriage, divorce, creating a
family, retiring, and acquiring assets and investments.
Most individuals may require a Last Will and
Testament regardless of
the extent of their material possessions. But are you aware that in addition
to a will, there are many legal processes available to you that enhance and
expedite the distribution of your property once you've passed on?
Your beneficiaries do not have to negotiate a complex maze of
excessive estate taxes, probate litigation, or delayed
benefits.
We're here to help you plan your estate effectively. Talk to one of our
attorneys about:
-
New Jersey Wills.
-
Living Wills.
-
Advanced Medical Directives.
-
Medical Proxies.
-
Powers of Attorney.
-
Last Will and Testament.
WILLS:
Our attorneys guide you in drawing up a valid New Jersey Will so
that your spouse, partner, children, family members, friends, companions, and pets will be
provided for after your death. We'll also advise you regarding the selection
of a suitable
executor, trustee or guardian to administer your Last Will and Testament as
per your directions.
Creating a Will does not have to be a complex or time consuming process, but
by investing just a little time and thought you can be assured that your
final wishes will be adhered to.
Who should have a Will?
Ideally everyone with any possessions, be they modest or abundant, should
have a Will. Married or single, with or without children, heterosexual or
same sex couples, this simple document gives you complete control over the
final distribution of anything you own.
LIVING WILLS:
A Living Will, or Advanced Medical Directive, is a document which lets you
decide whether or not to be kept on artificial life support. If you are
unable to make health care decisions yourself, a Living Will allows you to
appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf in accordance with your
wishes.
Who should have a Living Will?
Anyone who would like to have control over their own final life decisions
should have a Living Will. A Living Will is a fairly simple legal document
that offers great peace-of-mind and can be personalized to suit your
requirements.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
A Power of Attorney is a document which allows someone to act on your behalf
while you are alive. You can have a durable power of attorney, a springing
power of attorney or a limited power of attorney to control your financial,
personal and medical needs.
