Levine & Levine
Essex County and Morris County Estate Planning Attorney
New Jersey Living Wills Lawyer
If you or your family needs assistance with estate planning or estate administration needs, contact a skilled and experienced New Jersey estate planning lawyer at Levine & Levine in Florham Park. Our Florham Park trusts and estates attorneys have backgrounds in accounting and finance and have over twenty years of practical experience in advising New Jersey families on powers of attorney, living wills, real estate transfers, and the tax implications of their estate planning decisions.
Simple Estate Planning
For families with a typical asset profile, we prepare wills, living wills or health care directives, powers of attorney, real estate transfers, and special needs trusts. We also help families with Medicaid and Medicare planning considerations. These instruments are intended to make sure that your estate passes smoothly to your heirs, that your health care needs are met according to your specific directions, and that any family members who need special care or treatment will be properly cared for.
Complex Estate Planning
For families who have been fortunate enough to have accumulated substantial assets over the course of a career or through inheritance, our New Jersey estate planning lawyers provide all of the services described above, together with additional services and instruments, including:
- Family estate and succession stakeholder conferences
- Trusts within wills, such as insurance trusts, credit shelter trusts, and residential real estate transfer trusts
- Charitable and educational trusts and foundations
- Inheritance tax and estate tax evaluation
- Negotiation, resolution, and release of conflicting interests
With our accounting and business experience, we never need to delegate or outsource your family's confidential financial affairs. All of our estate plans are designed to address your specific and unique circumstances, minimize tax exposure, preserve your assets, and to keep your family and your legacy out of court.
Estate Administration
We represent executors, administrators, and personal representatives in both simple and complex estates. We can also marshal assets, pay or contest claims, transfer real estate, distribute bequests, and render interim and final accountings. In contested probate proceedings, we can represent either the estate or the heirs as trial counsel.
New Jersey estate planning attorney Melvin H. Levine handles most of the firm's estate planning work. He has conducted continuing education courses in estate planning for CPA's in Essex County, and also serves as a court-appointed successor trustee in the courts of Morris County and Essex County.
