Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Ocean City do?
An estate planning attorney helps you create legal documents like wills trusts and healthcare directives. They also assist with probate administration and guardianship matters. In New Jersey, they can help you plan to avoid the state estate tax which applies to estates over a certain threshold.
Do I need an estate plan if I have a small estate in New Jersey?
Yes, even a small estate can benefit from a will or a simple trust. New Jersey has a simplified probate process for small estates under $50,000. However, without a will, state law determines who inherits your property which may not match your wishes.
What is the New Jersey estate tax threshold in 2025?
As of 2025, New Jersey does not have a state estate tax. The state inheritance tax still applies to certain beneficiaries. An attorney can explain which assets are subject to the inheritance tax and how to minimize its impact.
