What is Probate?
Probate is the court process for gathering a decedent's assets, paying taxes and claims, and distributing assets to the beneficiaries. Generally probate is only necessary when a person dies with assets in his or her own name alone. Assets in a living trust, jointly held or with a beneficiary designation do not have to go through probate. Probate has a bad reputation. Sometimes rightfully so, but not always.
We can explain the pros and cons of New Jersey probate to you in simple, plain English.
Problems in probate occurs because of one or more of the following:

TESTIMONIAL
I was in a panic. My fiancee passed away and I was named as a beneficiary of a valuable piece of real estate in Hudson County, New Jersey under his Will. Adding to my grief was the decision of the Executor to ignore the language of his Will and then he refused to convey ownership of the real estate to me.
What were my rights? What could I do? I called various people for a referral to an attorney experienced in probate litigation. Mr. Niemann was recommended to me and immediately he took charge. He filed a lawsuit against the Executor and aggressively fought for me throughout the legal process. He would not compromise or settle for less than I deserved under the Will. A trial took place and Mr. Niemann tried the case for me to the end. He was prepared and his office and associates offered tremendous assistance to me and Mr. Niemann in getting the case ready for trial.
Today, I am the owner of the property my fiancee intended for me to have. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Mr. Niemann and his very capable office.
