Do You Need a New Jersey Attorney for Estate Tax Planning and Asset Protection?
We Can Help.
Estate planning is the process by which a plan is developed and documents prepared to conserve, protect, and distribute estate assets before and after someone's death for the benefit of loved ones and charities. In its simplest form, it is known as asset protection planning. Such an estate plan takes into consideration the effect of state and federal tax and administrative laws and regulations. It will also consider the use of these assets for your own care if you become unable to manage your financial and medical affairs at some point during your life.
Our elder law and estate planning attorneys can help you to determine your needs.
While working with our knowledgeable estate planning lawyers, we will be able to determine the value of your lifetime estate and how to protect it legally from confiscatory New Jersey taxes. If you own a home, have liquid assets such as a savings or investment account, or a car, then you should rely on the experience of our New Jersey elder law specialists to help plan and protect your estate for your future. An effective plan will ensure the financial security of those you love. If you don't plan for what happens to your estate upon your death, the government will decide how your estate is distributed.
You should consider advice from Hanlon Niemann on an estate plan if you can answer yes to any of the following questions:
- Do you wish to protect your spouse?
- Do you care about who inherits your property?
- Do you care about your health care treatment?
- Are you the parent of a minor and/or adult disabled child?
- Do you want to avoid the public proceedings of a guardianship and/or probate action?
- Do you wish to avoid or minimize estate and income taxes?
"My son is an attorney in New Jersey. I am retired and live in Ocean County, New Jersey about 45 minutes away from my son. I needed a lawyer to look at my estate planning documents including Will, Power of Attorney and Health Care Directive. My son recommended Hanlon Niemann in Freehold, New Jersey, specifically Fredrick P. Niemann. I took his advice and met with Mr. Niemann. I am glad that I did. He is a warm and engaging person. No pretense, no airs about him. I immediately felt at ease and we talked about everything that I wanted to do and accomplish with my estate planning. I felt I could open up to him and tell him what was really important to me. He prepared the documents as we discussed and sent them to me in advance to review and approve. Then he scheduled me for a signature session where my appointment was promptly kept and a friendly, positive staff witnessed all of my documents. My son, the attorney, gave me good advice when he recommended Mr. Niemann.
If you are searching for a special attorney, someone who is experienced, likeable as a person and professional, call Mr. Niemann. I felt good about my choice."
