There is a divorce or separation.
You experience significant financial growth or acquisitions.
A named executor or beneficiary passes away or becomes unfit.
Family dynamics shift, requiring adjustments in inheritance or guardianship.
What Happens Without a Will?
Without a will, your estate is subject to New Jersey’s intestacy laws, meaning the state decides how to divide your assets. This can lead to:
01
Disputes among family members.
02
Delays in asset distribution through the probate process.
03
Assets potentially going to unintended beneficiaries.

"Ruma Mazumdar, Esq. and her staff were completely professional and solved numerous issues that arose during the sale of property. I think another lawyer would have either given up or charged much more for all the additional work that had to be put forth. I highly recommend her for any legal services."
