New Jersey Estate Planning Lawyer
In estate planning matters, there are no standard solutions. Before beginning the estate planning process at Dumont & Watson, we get to know the client, the client’s family, and the client’s wishes regarding the estate. Then we carefully craft the particular estate-planning solution that will meet the client’s desires and financial needs.
At Dumont & Watson, we advise clients in all types of estate-planning matters, ranging from simple to complex wills, and including sophisticated tax-saving vehicles. We advise clients in matters involving:
Wills
Trusts
Health care directives (living wills)
Powers of attorney and health care proxies
Business succession
Probate
Estate administration
Probate and trust litigation
Qualified domestic trust (QDOT) for resident aliens and noncitizens
And others
In many cases, a particular estate planning solution should not be set in stone. A divorce, a remarriage, the birth of children, or the onset of prosperity can affect a person’s estate-planning needs. As a client’s life situation changes over time, we work with the client to make sure that the estate-planning devices reflect the client’s financial needs and personal wishes.
Business Succession and Estate Tax Minimization
We use our experience in business law and business valuation to advise business owners in matters involving business succession and estate tax planning. Fully conversant and knowledgeable in all manners of estate-planning devices, we use such tools as a bypass trust, A / B trust, revocable trust, qualified personal residence trust, education trust, charitable remainder trust, qualified domestic trust, and self-canceling installment note to provide smooth business successions and smooth family successions. We manage family estate plans to minimize estate taxes.
