One of the most difficult estate planning decisions for parents is choosing who would raise their children if something unexpected happens.

The challenge is that there often is no “perfect” choice.

There are six practical considerations parents should evaluate when naming a guardian for minor children, including:
👶parenting values
👶existing relationships
👶geography
👶age and health
👶financial responsibility
👶willingness to step in

No matter how hard it is to make it, a thoughtful plan for children is always better than leaving the decision to a court.

Partner Kimberlie Fiero, chair of the Ocean County Senior Advisory Council, attended a public hearing this week focused on initiatives impacting the County’s senior community.

Older adults, caregivers, senior advocacy groups, service providers and members of the public were invited to weigh in on priority needs for seniors and how they can be met. The hearing was part of the Age-Friendly Ocean County grant project by the Ocean County Office of Senior Services and the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Ocean County Family and Community Health Sciences (FCHS), funded by the Division of Aging Services at the New Jersey Department of Human Services.

Thanks to Ocean County Senior Services Director, Maria LaFace, and her team for their work supporting and advocating for older adults throughout Ocean County. Their dedication — along with the thoughtful input and support from community members in attendance — plays an important role in shaping programs and services that meet seniors’ evolving needs.

Provide your input by April 30 and learn more: https://www.co.ocean.nj.us/OC/SeniorServices/

Engagement like this matters. Public participation and informed advocacy help ensure that senior services remain responsive, accessible and effective.

Starting your first “real” job comes with a paycheck, benefits and a new level of independence — but it also comes with legal decisions most people don’t think about.

If something unexpected happens, who can access your accounts, make medical decisions or manage your finances? The answer may be no one if you don’t have the right estate planning documents in place.

Even early in your career, a simple estate plan can help ensure:

✔ Someone you trust can make health care decisions
✔ Your finances can be managed if you’re unable to do so
✔ Your accounts — including digital ones — are accessible and organized
✔ Your wishes are clear and easy for others to follow

Estate planning isn’t about how much you have, it’s about making sure your life is protected as it starts to take shape.

Many people turn to online templates when creating a will, believing it’s a simple and inexpensive way to plan their estate. But poorly drafted DIY wills can create confusion that leads to costly legal disputes.

When language in a will is unclear or inconsistent, family members may interpret it differently — sometimes forcing a court to decide what the document means. Even modest estates can lose tens of thousands of dollars to litigation.

A 30-year-old New Jersey professional with real estate and investments recently learned that powers of attorney, health care directives and even trusts can matter long before marriage or kids — especially when family dynamics are complicated.

Early estate planning isn’t about locking in decisions. It’s about protecting yourself if the unexpected happens.
