From our offices in Hackensack and Manhattan, we serve individuals and businesses across northern New Jersey including Bergen County, Essex County, Union County, Middlesex County and Passaic County and the five boroughs of New York City.
Kirsch Gartenberg Howard LLP provides sophisticated estate planning and tax planning services for transferring wealth from one generation to the next and establishing your wishes in the event of your premature death or incapacity. We practice in northern New Jersey and New York City.
One of our strengths in this arena is the development and implementation of tax planning strategies to minimize or eliminate state inheritance taxes and federal estate taxes when your family business or estate passes to heirs. Just as importantly, we carefully craft the documents that protect your interests, declare your wishes and avert family squabbles when you are deceased or no longer able to manage your own affairs.
Bergen County Estate Planning Attorney
Amie Gartenberg is an experienced estate planning attorney with nearly 30 years of practical insights from drafting — and litigating — these documents. She can help you anticipate scenarios you probably hadn't considered in creating:
- A properly executed will to designate who inherits what, to appoint guardians and trustees for dependent children, and to declare other wishes, including provision for blended or second families
- Powers of attorney to manage your financial, business and legal affairs if you cannot
- A health care directive and appointed proxy for medical decisions on your behalf
- A living will to declare end-of-life wishes (life support, pain medications, etc.)
- Various types of trusts to bypass probate, protect assets from creditors, minimize taxation, fund a charity or provide for a family member with special needs.
We are familiar with the fluctuating threshold for federal (and state) taxation, as well as the nuances of laws in each state that will affect your estate planning decisions.
