Death and Estate Planning Strategy in New Jersey
IF DEATH COMES TODAY.... HAVE YOU PROTECTED YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES?
People often talk about estate planning when the topic of death comes up. We all know our passing is a reality but a distant reality....... so we think. I hope that is true for all of us. But life isn’t always fair and bad things happen everyday. Young people die or are disabled in a horrific accidents.
Middle aged persons in their 40's and early 50's die from heart attacks or suffer terrible strokes… or aging men and women in their 70’s and 80’s languish with ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s or dementia. People of all ages, young and old, experience sudden and debilitating illness that robs them of their dignity and quality of life.
FREDRICK P. NIEMANN, ESQ. HAS PREPARED WILLS, TRUSTS AND ESTATE PLANS FOR CLIENTS OF ALL AGES AND ALL LEVELS OF INCOME AND WEALTH. LET HIS EXPERIENCE WORK FOR YOU
Are you married? Have children, grandchildren? Let me state it plain and clear… you need a will. I have one. So do you. You also need an estate plan and you need a life care plan. Your estate should include a will and/or trust, a Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive.
You need these documents to protect yourself, your children, spouse, grandchildren, domestic partner, favorite charity, parents, siblings ... in short anyone or anything important to you.
Why, because if you don’t plan ahead, your spouse may face large and unexpected expenses, taxes and be unprepared to handle the family’s finances. Families may fight over the guardianship of your children and money..., because your 22 year old son or daughter may inherit a sizeable estate and like the prodigal son or daughter squander it by age 25....., because your grandchild with a disability may lose his or her government benefits.....; because the son or daughter-in-law you can’t stand may receive a portion of your estate if they divorce your child ...... and the reasons go on and on.
READ ABOUT THIS REAL LIFE STORY OF A PERSON WHO FAILED TO PLAN HIS ESTATE.... AND DIED SUDDENLY.
I tell clients about a middle aged wife and mother that came in to see me years ago. Her husband of 25 years had died, early, young and unexpected. He was scheduled to sign his estate planning documents the week after he died.
He was worth a lot of money. But he died before he signed a single document.
By law, he died intestate, meaning he died without a will. Because of that, we had to deal not only with the emotional tragedy of his unexpected death, but the significant financial costs associated with no having estate plan in place. You see, by not signing his estate planning documents before he died, it was if he had done nothing to prepare for his death.
Here’s a Brief Questionnaire to Determine if You Need a Will in New Jersey
- Do you want your minor/adult children to be the co-owners of your estate with your surviving spouse?
- Do you want your children by a previous marriage to be disinherited by your present spouse after you die?
- Do you want to potentially save money in federal and New Jersey death and inheritance taxes?
- Do you want in-laws, family and/or friends filing lawsuits over the custody of your children? If your answer(s) to any of these questions is no, then you need to contact Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. as soon as possible!
