New York and New Jersey Estate Planning Law Firm
The Kridel Law Group counsels clients on all aspects of estate planning, including drafting wills, trusts, living wills, and powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions.
When you look inside to the heart of an estate plan, you will find complex financial interests that need protecting. Our attorneys will work closely with your financial advisors, accountants and insurance representatives to create an estate plan that serves the goals of asset protection both during life and after death.
At The Kridel Law Group, we approach estate planning from a financial perspective. Our goal is to create effective legal documents that protect your wishes and your assets from every possible challenge. We are fortunate to have access to lawyers with impressive backgrounds and advanced training in finance and tax — to help us serve our clients better.
Estate Planning Services
We work with all types of estate planning tools, depending on the family's needs. A well built estate plan will not only clearly state the decedent's wishes for asset distribution but will protect the estate by minimizing exposure to estate and inheritance taxes.
The tools we work with include:
- Family limited partnerships
- Irrevocable living trusts
- Spendthrift trusts
- Charitable remainder trusts
- Irrevocable life insurance trusts
- Business succession planning

Estate Administration and Probate Litigation
We represent heirs and beneficiaries in probate litigation involving will contests, challenges to trusts, guardianships, and other probate disputes. Our attorneys also have extensive experience representing estate administrators and executors of wills.
