New Jersey Estate Planning Attorney - The Matus Law Group - (732) 281-0060

The Matus Law Group operates out of New Jersey, providing personalized legal services in estate planning. Under the leadership of skilled attorney Christine Matus, we assist clients in both managing their estates and achieving their planning goals.
 
What key elements should every estate plan have?
 
To be effective, an estate plan should include a will or trust for handling assets, financial and healthcare powers of attorney to manage personal affairs and health care decisions, and a living will or health care directive to state preferences for end-of-life treatment. These are critical to maintaining control over personal matters.
 
How do different taxes affect estate planning?
 
It's vital to consider the role of taxes in estate planning, including federal and state income taxes, as well as estate and gift taxes. Proper planning can help reduce the tax liabilities that might otherwise deplete an estate's value.
 
Do I need a lawyer to draft my will?
 
Drafting a will independently is possible, but for full legal validity and to ensure all aspects of your wishes are legally protected, it is wise to consult a lawyer. This helps in avoiding errors that could make the will invalid.

Monmouth County Estate planning lawyer - The Matus Law Group - (732) 785-4453

Our team at The Matus Law Group, based in Monmouth County, New Jersey, commits to guiding clients in the process of comprehensive estate planning aligned with their goals. With over two decades of experience, we offer empathetic legal counsel and services, aiming to protect and oversee our clients' legacies with a blend of personal care and thorough professionalism.
 
When should I reevaluate my estate plan?
We recommend that you assess and possibly update your estate plan every three to five years. However, if you encounter significant life events such as the arrival of new family members, changes in marital status, or shifts in your assets, it may be necessary to review your plan earlier to ensure it aligns with your current circumstances.
 
At what age should a person start estate planning?
Our advice is to start estate planning at the age of 18, which New Jersey law marks as the start of legal independence. This is when you start having the authority to make binding legal decisions, including drafting a will, provided you have mental capacity. If you've already surpassed this age without starting your estate planning, don't fret—there's no wrong time to begin, even if you're already retired.
 
What are the usual services involved in planning an estate?
Typically, planning an estate involves services such as trust establishment, charitable giving strategies, and tax reduction plans. We can also assist in drafting wills and healthcare directives to accurately represent your wishes for the future. The components of your estate plan should be customized to suit your personal circumstances and goals. Working with an attorney who has a good grasp of these areas can ensure that your estate plan is well-prepared and comprehensive.
