Estate Planning

The Law Office of Michael D. Mirne, L.L.C. provides Estate Planning services, including the drafting of wills, trusts and medical directives. Estate planning allows our clients and their families an opportunity to prepare for their futures and avoid potentially overwhelming difficulties from occurring down the road. Most people are already aware of the importance of having a will in order to provide for a spouse or a child in the event of death or disability. Surprisingly, many New Jersey residents do not have a will or trust. Nearly everyone will benefit from setting up an estate plan. It is crucial to customize your estate plan to serve your individual needs and objectives.

We encourage you to take care of your will, trust and basic estate planning needs now, while you still have the health, well-being and judgment that would be necessary for making critical decisions. We also encourage you to prepare a health care directive (also called a “living will”) and health care proxy (also called a “health case representative”), so in the event you are hospitalized or incapacitated, the medical professionals who are treating you will be properly guided as to your wishes. Please consult with our office to see how we can help.
