Few people want the government to determine what happens with their wealth, security, and assets once they've passed on. Yet without proper estate planning in the absence of a clearly executed will this is exactly what occurs. What's even more concerning is how often that single and married parents of minor children neglect to sit down with a New Jersey estate planning attorney and designate a guardian in the event of their untimely death or deaths.
Based in Somerville, the Law Office of Marcia Polgar Zalewski assists individuals and families in New Jersey plan their estates so that they can continue living their lives with the security of knowing that their affairs are in order. A will or testament as it is often called accomplishes the following things for the testator (the person who has made the will):
- Allows you to choose a person to administer your estate (the executor).
- Spares your family and loved ones the confusion of asset division during a painful time.
- Keeps your survivors out of the New Jersey probate courts.
- Reduces and eliminates probate and other taxes to which estates are particularly vulnerable.
- Determines who and where the assets of your estate go.
- Allows you to decide who will be raising your minor children
Attorney Marcia Polgar Zalewski has established a reputation by building complete estate plans for her New Jersey clients, including:
