Estate Planning

Estate Planning Attorneys in Union County, New Jersey

Questions of child custody, inheritance rights, and medically-assisted survival arise in the event of a loved one's death or incapacitation. A solid estate plan is a preemptive measure that helps people effectively communicate their last wishes. Attorneys at Hobbie & Hobbie, Attorneys At Law, LLC offer clients thoughtful counsel and sound legal advice as they make these critical decisions.

The firm supplies the knowledge, the tools, and the strategies to help clients complete all documents appropriately. The attorneys advise clients on asset preservation and tax reduction techniques and strategies. They prepare the estate plan, which generally consists of at least three of the following documents:

-Last will and testament
-Revocable trusts
-General or durable power of attorney
-Healthcare power of attorney or healthcare proxy
-Living wills

Estate plans need to be revised periodically to reflect lifestyle decisions, asset distribution preferences, and legal best practices. Taking the time to complete these documents appropriately now can save thousands of dollars in legal fees later. An attorney can help reduce the likelihood of estate and will contests by using clear language to articulate client preferences.

The advice of an attorney is invaluable to clients as they prepare estate plans. An attorney can direct clients to the latest advances in the law and the opportunities available to minimize liabilities during probate. Consult with a qualified attorney at Hobbie & Hobbie, Attorneys At Law, LLC. Call 908-276-4777 or email the office to schedule an initial consultation.
