New Jersey Wills Attorneys
At Wolfenson & Ashkenazi, P.C., we bring over 50 years of combined experience to clients in Union and across New Jersey. We offer the personal attention of a small firm paired with the depth of knowledge you would find at a much larger practice. A will is one of the most important steps you can take for the people you love, and we are here to help you take it with clarity.
Do You Need A Will In New Jersey?
A will is a legal document that describes your final wishes. It names who receives your assets, who manages your estate and who cares for your minor children after you are gone. Many people assume a will is only for the wealthy or the elderly, but that is not the case. If you love anyone or own anything, a will gives you control over what happens to both.
Without a will, New Jersey law divides your estate for you. That process may not reflect your wishes, and it can create unnecessary conflict and grief for the people you leave behind.
What Can You Include In Your Will?
A will can address far more than most people expect. Your last will and testament in New Jersey can cover a wide range of personal and financial matters, which can include:
- Real estate and personal property
- Bank accounts and investments
- Personal possessions
- Business interests
- Digital assets
- Guardianship of minor children
- Pet care provisions
- Charitable gifts
- Funeral and burial wishes
At Wolfenson & Ashkenazi, P.C., our estate planning attorneys can help ensure your plan covers everything that matters.
Types Of Wills We Prepare In New Jersey
Every family is different. We prepare a range of wills to meet the needs of clients across New Jersey, including:
- Simple will: Names your beneficiaries and outlines your final wishes in a clear, direct format
- Pour-over will: Transfers your remaining assets into an existing trust at the time of your death
- Joint will: A single document through which a married couple expresses their shared wishes
We will help you identify the right option for your family. We also prepare living wills, an advance directive that captures your medical care preferences in the event you cannot speak for yourself.
