The firm advises individuals in planning their affairs and minimizing exposure to estate taxes. These services include preparation of Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, and Living Wills. Depending on the individual's circumstances, the creation of trusts to minimize Federal and New Jersey estate tax can be an important part of an effective estate plan.

If something were to happen to you and your spouse, who would care for your children? How would they be provided for? These are very important questions to ask. Lawyer Nicholas A. Giuditta, III, we can help you find the answers. It is imperative that you prepare a will that names a guardian for your children.

Naming of trustees is also extremely important to be sure that any money you might leave in a trust to a child, grandchild, or other beneficiary is managed for the maximum benefit of that recipient. A comprehensive directive will also avoid the need for family members to seek legal guardianship should you become mentally incapacitated.

Gifting of assets may help you reduce the value of your estate, thus reducing the size of your estate tax. There are policies governing how much can be gifted as well as who assets may be gifted to. Married couples may also utilize the gift-splitting rule. We can advise you on how to properly employ this option for your advantage and the welfare of your beneficiary.
