Helping clients with wills, healthcare planning, and all legal documents and processes needed for estate planning or probate

A will determines how your estate will be distributed after your death. In your will, you name an executor to handle the distribution. If there is no will, the estate is "intestate," and is handled according to the laws of New Jersey. Based on your needs and goals, our estate planning lawyers can help you accomplish the following:

  • Wills and trusts

  • Disposition of assets with minimum taxation

  • Administration and disposition of assets during lifetime

  • Decision-making in the event of a disabling illness

  • Durable healthcare power of attorney for medical decision-making

  • Durable financial power of attorney for asset management, bill paying, and other financial activities if you become incapacitated

  • Living wills to outline your wishes for end-of-life care

Attorney Alan G. Cosner is a former Internal Revenue Service agent and accountant. He is experienced with helping people limit their tax exposure. Using his skills, we handle planning for Federal Estate Tax matters. We also ensure that clients are protected from tax consequences involving New Jersey inheritance tax, New Jersey estate tax, and state and federal income taxes. We advise clients about how the value and type of property in their estates affect the tax ramifications of their estates.

Our probate lawyer can assist with the probate of the estate and asset transfer to heirs as efficiently as possible after death. We shepherd the will through the probate process, which involves submitting it to the court to determine its validity. We also handle will contests involving allegations of undue influence or issues of testator competency.
