Probate Law & Estate Administration Lawyers Based in Toms River, NJ

The importance of proper estate planning cannot be overstated. Whether the matter at hand is the smooth transfer of assets, healthcare directives, determining who will handle the financial or legal matters of the estate, or appointing guardians for young children, a well-developed estate plan is critical to ensuring that, in the event of incapacitation or death, all actions taken are done in accordance with wishes of the individual. Failure to create such a plan runs the risk of having legal matters ultimately handled in probate court, a situation which can result in unnecessary expense and high levels of family tension.

The attorneys at Berry, Sahradnik, Kotzas & Benson are well versed in the many aspects of wills, probate and estate litigation. We understand its importance as well as how amendments to the Uniform Probate Code and recent probate litigation decisions can affect how such plans should be created as well as the impact they may have on wills and living wills which already exist. That is why we always urge New Jersey residents to have such documents reviewed by a knowledgeable probate attorney.
