We provide counsel to clients who require legal advice and representation in matters relating to the drafting of Last Wills and Testaments, Trusts (Living and Testamentary), Durable Powers of Attorney, and Advanced Medical Directives. In connection with our role as advisors, we also provide assistance in the areas of Estate Planning, including advice regarding Federal and State Tax Regulations relative to individuals’ assets and long-term goals; Estate Administration; and, when necessary, Chancery Proceedings involving such matters as Will Contests (either defending or challenging the Executor).
We represent both inexperienced first-time home buyers, as well as sophisticated real estate investors with diverse portfolios of residential and mixed-use properties. In fact, over the past 35 years, our firm has closed thousands of residential and commercial real estate transactions involving sales, acquisitions, and refinances throughout the State of New Jersey. During these transactions, we walk our clients through the contract formation and “attorney review” period, inspections, and all aspects of lending and closing procedures. We also represent individuals and legal entities in the drafting and negotiating of commercial and residential lease agreements.
In addition, we represent individuals and groups in many areas of business law, including, but not limited to, the formation of business entities such as corporations, limited liability companies, general partnerships, and limited partnerships. For these various individuals and groups, we draft shareholder agreements and bylaws, operating agreements, partnership agreements, limited partnership agreements, asset sale agreements, and assignment and assumption agreements.
Amongst our many clients, we are privileged to include a major independent New Jersey retail gasoline corporation for which we have acted as outside counsel in every area of its business, from site acquisition and/or lease to complex financial and corporate restructuring. In addition, for well over a decade, our firm has served as bank review attorneys for the closing of New Jersey commercial loans for a prominent regional bank. We have also acted as review attorneys for other financial institutions.
