The experienced New Jersey wills and probate lawyers, at Guston & Guston, LLP, have worked for many years to assist clients and their families with important estate planning tools, such as wills and trusts.

Tax Planning
Our high-quality legal services go beyond the simple will. At Guston & Guston, LLP, we assist our clients with state and federal tax planning of all types, including developing generation-skipping tax plans. In all our tax planning, we work with our clients to minimize tax liabilities for our clients and their families. Among our clients are non-citizens and unmarried people, including same-sex couples, who face particularly complex tax planning issues.

Trusts
Our New Jersey trust and estate planning attorneys are skilled in developing a wide range of trust instruments, including living trusts, trusts for children, insurance trusts, pot trusts, spendthrift trusts, and more. We have also helped our clients establish charitable trusts that deed assets to benefit religious and charitable organizations after their death.

Wills
When we draft a will for a client, our goal is to create a document that is secure against challenge. We have found that this is particularly important when working with unmarried couples, whose families may contest their choices and intentions. We have experience with gay and lesbian estate planning. Through the creation of sound legal documents, we work to minimize gifting issues and family contests for same-sex couples.

Living Wills
We help our clients plan for ill health that may leave them unable to care for themselves, make medical decisions, or handle their business affairs. Together we craft documents that express their wishes. In New Jersey, living will, health care powers of attorney, health care directives, and durable powers of attorney are among the recommended documents.

Probate / Estate Administration
In addition to providing counsel to executors and administrators, our probate lawyer handles the probate of a lost will, handwritten will, holographic will, searching for a lost heir, and helps resolve conflicts arising from a subsequent will. In our estate administration work, we coordinate accountings and distributions. We use experts, including accountants, private detectives, and genealogy services in our probate work.

Litigation
In our wills and probate work, we have found that some conflicts can only be resolved through litigation. Our skilled litigators will represent you and your interests effectively in court.
