I am attorney John L. Schettino, and from my offices in Hackensack, I help individuals and families throughout New Jersey with their estate planning and administration concerns, including probate.
If you want any say in the future of your estate, it is time to take action and develop an estate plan tailored to your needs. The right plan will ensure that your wishes are honored and help your beneficiaries avoid undue inheritance taxes.
As I personally handle your estate plan, I will take a comprehensive look at your financial situation and use a variety of tools to come up with a plan suited to your needs, including:
There are a variety of gifting strategies which allow you to give money to family members and others while minimizing the tax liability of your gift. I will help you understand your trust options, including living trusts, revocable trusts, special needs trusts, and family trusts.
After you have just lost a loved one, it can be difficult to go through the probate or estate administration process on your own. I represent will executors, and I can help you through the entire process. You will need to prepare a full accounting of the estate in question and make sure all outstanding bills are paid. I will take you every step of the probate process:
I will also handle any probate disputes that may arise during the process, such as will contests, trust administration, and trust disputes. If you are involved in a probate dispute, I will be happy to answer your questions and help you understand your options.
