Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Bernardsville do?
An estate planning attorney helps you draft legal documents like wills, trusts, and advance directives. They also advise on New Jersey estate tax strategies and probate procedures. Their goal is to ensure your assets pass to your chosen beneficiaries with minimal legal complications.
Do I need a will in New Jersey?
New Jersey does not require you to have a will, but dying without one means your assets pass under state intestacy laws. This can result in property going to distant relatives or the state. A will lets you control who inherits your property and who manages your estate.
What is the New Jersey estate tax threshold?
For deaths in 2025, New Jersey has no estate tax because the tax was phased out. However, the state still has an inheritance tax on certain transfers to non-exempt beneficiaries. An attorney can explain how these rules apply to your specific situation.
