Our team at The Matus Law Group, based in Monmouth County, New Jersey, commits to guiding clients in the process of comprehensive estate planning aligned with their goals. With over two decades of experience, we offer empathetic legal counsel and services, aiming to protect and oversee our clients' legacies with a blend of personal care and thorough professionalism.   When should I reevaluate my estate plan? We recommend that you assess and possibly update your estate plan every three to five years. However, if you encounter significant life events such as the arrival of new family members, changes in marital status, or shifts in your assets, it may be necessary to review your plan earlier to ensure it aligns with your current circumstances.   At what age should a person start estate planning? Our advice is to start estate planning at the age of 18, which New Jersey law marks as the start of legal independence. This is when you start having the authority to make binding legal decisions, including drafting a will, provided you have mental capacity. If you've already surpassed this age without starting your estate planning, don't fret—there's no wrong time to begin, even if you're already retired.   What are the usual services involved in planning an estate? Typically, planning an estate involves services such as trust establishment, charitable giving strategies, and tax reduction plans. We can also assist in drafting wills and healthcare directives to accurately represent your wishes for the future. The components of your estate plan should be customized to suit your personal circumstances and goals. Working with an attorney who has a good grasp of these areas can ensure that your estate plan is well-prepared and comprehensive.
