Wills & Probate

New Jersey Probate Lawyers

Have you been named the executor of a will? Would you like to help your family members avoid a Terri Schiavo situation if accident or illness causes you to be incapacitated? If so, you need advice from an attorney.

At the law offices of Purrazzella & Purrazzella, we help people draft estate planning documents, including:

• Last will and testament, in which you direct how you want your assets distributed after you die.
• Trusts, which enable you to pass assets directly to heirs and beneficiaries without the necessity of going through the probate process.
• A living will, which allows you to tell family members and caregivers what life-sustaining measures you want taken if you are ever in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery.
• Powers of attorney, which are legal document that enable a trusted person to act for you if you are incapacitated and unable to speak for yourself. Our lawyers draft powers of attorney for heath care decisions as well as financial decisions such as paying bills.

Our lawyers also guide clients through the probate process, which includes submitting a will to the probate court, paying debts, paying taxes, and distributing assets to heirs in accordance with the will. We represent both people named as executors of wills, as well as family members who want to make sure their interests are protected.
