Elder Law & Estate Planning

Protecting Your Family, Your Investments and Your Future

Estate planning is strategic legal action to protect your wealth and investments, family security and personal well-being. Whether you have an existing estate plan or you want to create a new comprehensive plan, working with an experienced attorney allows you to identify your objectives and develop an appropriate plan tailored to meet your needs. At Piro, Zinna, Cifelli, Paris & Genitempo in Nutley, New Jersey, our attorneys have extensive and qualified experience with both simple and complex estate planning.

Christopher G. Rohde is a CPA, as well as an attorney, giving him the ability to plan the most tax-efficient way to protect your assets for future generations. Everybody should have a will, power of attorney and living will to make their wishes known, and to limit the problems and delays for heirs. In addition to preparing the basic estate planning documents, we also help families protect their assets in the event that long term care is needed. For those who have not planned, we provide assistance when long term care is needed. From reviewing nursing home admission agreements to completing an application for Medicaid, we will ease the burden on family members and help implement any last minute asset protection strategies.

The estate planning lawyers from our firm are experienced with the following estate planning tools:

  • Estate planning: Wills, powers of attorney, health care directives/living wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts.
  • Elder law: Preservation of the family home, Medicaid trusts, special needs trusts, preserving Social Security eligibility, gifting strategies and real property transfers.
  • Guardianship and conservatorship: Minor children, special needs children, elderly family members.

Creating an Estate Plan to Meet Your Needs

A recent life change such as a birth, marriage, or death in the family is always a good time to re-evaluate an existing estate plan. Our clients range from newlyweds with moderate assets, elderly couples with simply their residence, to high net worth families with complex estate tax planning needs. As your attorneys, we will take an individualized approach to identify your goals and develop key strategies to protect your investments, family, and personal rights in the future.
