Estate Planning

Central Jersey Estate Planning Lawyer

Most people think estate planning is about money. And, of course, protecting people’s property and avoiding the ravages of estate taxes are a big part of the process.

But that’s not what most clients talk about when they come to my office.

They talk about their son-in-law whom they don’t entirely trust, or protecting an inheritance for children of a prior marriage (or from a future remarriage), or their grand-daughter who is still too immature to handle a large inheritance, or their parents who are still alive but will one day need nursing home care, or their son whose three children need a college fund, or their special needs child who will need help for decades after they pass away, or their desire to leave a bequest to their church, or…you get the idea.

In other words, estate planning is not primarily about money. It’s about people, family, relationships — it’s about love.

With the YourLawyers4Life Love & Protection Trust, you can be sure that what you leave will go to whom you want, when you want them to have it, and in the way you want them to have it. Whether it’s a smooth and profitable transition out of a business created over a lifetime (or several lifetimes), or capturing and passing on your legacy (in the form of values, goals, and work ethic), you can benefit from working with an attorney who focuses exclusively in this field to make sure that you have a plan that is crafted specifically for your family, and your wishes.

By creating a relationship with a trusted advisor, someone who can be your family’s personal lawyer, you can take great comfort in knowing you have the very best strategies in place to protect your loved ones, and that you have access to the advice of a counselor who can provide assistance to your family when you’re gone and — perhaps more importantly — to you, during your lifetime.
