What makes estate planning unique in New Jersey?

Estate planning in New Jersey involves specific state laws that can affect probate and inheritance taxes. New Jersey has an inheritance tax for certain beneficiaries, which is different from many states that only have or do not have estate taxes. Additionally, New Jersey recognizes certain types of trusts that can be particularly beneficial for tax planning and asset protection. This may help individuals manage and distribute their estate in a way that minimizes tax liability and ensures their wishes are followed, enhancing financial security for their heirs.
