Estate Planning & Probate Attorney · Monmouth County, NJ

Practical counsel. A clear path forward.

Residents of Freehold, Middletown, Red Bank, Manalapan and other Monmouth County communities may need to coordinate a will with real estate, retirement accounts, jointly owned assets and beneficiary designations. Peter T. Seems, Jr. prepares estate planning documents and explains the role of each. The firm also assists executors and families with probate and administration through the Monmouth County Surrogate's Court when appropriate. A clear plan can reduce uncertainty, but no document should be treated as permanent. Marriage, divorce, a new child, a family death, changed assets or a move may make an earlier plan inconsistent with current goals.

Guidance may include

• Preparing or updating wills based on family and property goals
• Creating powers of attorney and advance health care directives
• Coordinating beneficiary designations, ownership and probate planning
• Guiding executors through the county Surrogate's Court process
• Addressing estate assets, notices, debts, transfers and beneficiary questions
