Preparing for difficulties during life - estate planning
The Hunnell Law Group’s estate planning attorneys work with people to ensure that our clients have a plan in place if tragedy happens, whether that means the death of a loved one or they are unable to care for themselves. We pride ourselves on guiding and advising our clients with the most up to date legal concepts so our clients can make informed decisions regarding their finances and medical care. This process can include wills, trusts, powers of attorney and healthcare directives and living wills. Our team understands the difficulty of these decisions and we stand ready to work with you to find a plan that is designed specifically for you and your family.
Assisting your family after death - Estate administration
Probate is a court-supervised legal process that may be required after someone dies. Navigating probate and administration of a loved one’s estate, while also grieving their loss, can feel like a daunting process. The Hunnell Law Group’s team stands ready to take the burden of the process on its shoulders, including locating and valuing assets and debts, paying final debts and taxes, coordinating the filing of the estate tax returns, selling the decedents home, wrapping up business and family partnerships, preparing the accounting, and finally transferring and distributing assets to the intended beneficiaries.
Since the Hunnell Law Group is also a litigation firm, we are prepared to defend estates against third-party claims, as well as represent client’s who believe an executor may not be honoring their fiduciary obligations to your loved one’s estate.
However, probate in New Jersey is not always required and a simplified process may be available for small uncomplicated estates.
The Hunnell Law Group offers free phone consultation to all estate planning and estate administration clients, to help determine whether our team is the right fit for your family.
