Whether you have millions of dollars or no assets and a lot of debt, you need a will. Who gets your assets? Who takes care of your children? Who is in charge of your estate? How much, if anything will my estate have to pay in death taxes? What are a Power of Attorney and Living Will and do I need them? These are but just a few of the things you need to worry about. You can take care of these questions and do it affordably.

The lawyers at Casha and Casha, LLC understand that a will is your last contact with your loved ones. For that reason we take special pride in taking the time to make sure it is properly worded to reflect that your will not only gives those things you want to whom you want but also lets them know how much you care. It’s that caring that will, on occasion, require estate planning to make certain that the State of New Jersey and the Federal government don’t tax approximately 50% of what you worked for your whole life. Your beneficiaries should be getting your assets, not the government. Designing and implementing a plan to preserve, protect, and transfer assets is most effective when completed before a serious illness or death occurs. There are ways of getting your assets to the people you care about without paying or at least minimizing the tax.

Because each client's concerns are unique, we create plans to give our clients the comfort of knowing that their loved ones will be prepared to respond decisively when the need arises. That level of comfort exists not just because of our technical ability, but also because of our excellent listening skills. Working closely with our clients, we get to know them, their families, and their trusted advisors. A commitment to that process allows us to better understand each client's goals and objectives, to identify potential hazards, and to develop creative solutions.

There are also times that you may need to shelter your assets from potential creditors or to make certain that someone with special medical or other needs are looked after. Even if you have one dollar in the bank and life insurance, depending on how much insurance you have, your estate may be subject to death taxes. Utilizing trusts can shield your assets and the insurance proceeds from creditors and taxation.

You owe it to your loved ones to, at a minimum, come to Casha and Casha for a free consultation.
