Frequently Asked Questions

What does an estate planning attorney in East Orange do?
An estate planning attorney helps you draft legal documents like wills, trusts, and advance directives. They ensure your assets transfer according to your wishes and minimize estate taxes under New Jersey law.
Do I need a will in New Jersey?
Yes, if you want to control who inherits your property. Without a will, New Jersey intestacy laws under N.J.S.A. 3B:5-3 determine distribution, which may not match your wishes.
What is the New Jersey estate tax threshold in 2025?
New Jersey no longer imposes a state estate tax as of 2018. However, federal estate tax exemptions apply. Consult an attorney for current limits and planning strategies.
