What Is Estate Planning in NJ and Why Do You Need it?‍

An estate plan is a set of legal documents that name certain people who name people who will oversee administering your estate when you pass away and also name the beneficiaries of that estate. Estate planning documents can also name people who can make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so.  

No matter your annual income, net worth or age, estate planning is necessary for several different reasons. Estate planning documents are essential when it comes to protecting your family and resolving any legal complications that may arise after you pass away. For example, without a Last Will & Testament in place, your family is put in a position where they will have to go through a time-consuming process which is closely overseen by the probate court. This is something that is not only costly but can also cause unnecessary stress.

Here are some additional benefits of hiring an estate planning attorney:

• You can plan for potential medical incapacitation
• You can ensure that your assets will transfer to the proper beneficiaries
• You can establish the executor and trustees of your estate
• You can provide for anyone in your immediate family who requires financial assistance
• You can put a plan in place that protects any business entities that you control
