What is Estate Law?
Estate law governs the process of managing and distributing an individual’s assets after their death.
This area of law encompasses the drafting of wills, the administration of estates, the resolution of disputes, and the planning of estates to minimize taxes and ensure that the individual’s wishes are honored.
How We Can Help
Estate law is a multifaceted field that encompasses various aspects essential for effective management and distribution of an individual's assets after their passing. Get in touch with one of the best trusts and estates administration law firm in Cranford, New Jersey.
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT
At Chan Law in Cranford, NJ, we understand that taking the initial steps to protect your assets and your loved ones' interests can be daunting. Our experienced team is here to provide you with essential information and guide you through creating your Last Will & Testament. This crucial document specifies your chosen beneficiaries and how your property will be distributed upon your death.
A Will is a vital instrument that gives you control over your asset distribution while potentially minimizing taxes and costs through strategic estate planning. We emphasize the importance of drafting an appropriate Will to avoid undesired consequences that may arise if you pass away without one. In New Jersey, dying without a Will (known as intestacy) means state statutes will determine who administers your estate and how your assets are distributed.
POWERS OF ATTORNEY
A Power of Attorney is equally important as a Living Will and Healthcare Directive. It addresses our clients' common concerns about future events beyond their control.
While Living Wills and Healthcare Directives ensure your healthcare wishes are respected, a Power of Attorney safeguards your financial interests should you become unable to make crucial financial decisions.
This document allows you to designate and authorize someone to make financial decisions on your behalf if you're incapacitated. There are various types of Powers of Attorney, each serving different purposes.
We strongly recommend discussing your specific planning needs with our estate planning experts to determine the most suitable options for your situation.
At Chan Law, we treat all initial consultations and ongoing communications with the utmost confidentiality. We provide a professional, open, and candid environment to discuss your concerns and legal matters thoroughly.
