Clients we Serve
At Simon Law Group, we believe estate planning isn’t about paperwork — it’s about people. It’s about keeping your family protected, your wishes honored, and your hard-earned assets where they belong. Whether you’re just getting started or updating an old plan, we’ll help you build a clear, practical system that actually works on the hardest days — not just when things are easy.
Every family starts in a different place. Some need the essentials — a will, power of attorney, or kids’ safety plan. Others need strategies for unique circumstances — aging parents, special needs care, or life after loss. And for those looking to protect what they’ve built, we design plans that safeguard businesses, retirement savings, and real estate across state lines.
Whatever your situation, our approach stays the same:
We listen. We design. We fund. We maintain. So your plan does exactly what it’s meant to — quietly protecting your family, your future, and your peace of mind.
Foundational Elements for Families
Wills and Basic Plans
Problem: No plan or outdated plan → public court process, delays, and confusion.
Fix: A tuned‑up Will, financial and medical decision‑maker documents, Children's Safety Plan (CSP), and a beneficiary/title audit so nothing contradicts your wishes.
Revocable Living Trusts (RLT) and Funding
Problem: You want privacy, speed, and less drama—and you own a home or multiple accounts.
Fix: A living trust that holds key assets now, a catch‑all will for stragglers, and most importantly: a Funding Plan we quarterback (deeds, titles, beneficiary changes).
Children's Safety Plan (CSP)
Problem: In an emergency, kids can end up waiting with strangers while the court figures it out.
Fix: Temporary caregivers, school/daycare releases, wallet cards, and clear guardianship nominations.
Unique Needs
Special Needs and Disabilities
Problem: A well‑meant gift can end benefits, or both caregiver and recipient are left navigating a complex system alone.
Fix: Special Needs Trusts with trustee coaching and simple rules that keep care in place while improving quality of life.
Seniors and Elder Adults
Problem: Old plans, lost binders, and no one authorized to help.
Fix: A clean refresh, simplified signatures and titles, and (when helpful) a private living trust so family business stays at the kitchen table.
Widows/Widowers and Recently Diagnosed
Problem: Cash flow stalls just when life gets hardest.
Fix: A crisis‑ready review to turn the lights back on, align beneficiaries, and make time‑sensitive filings—without courtroom drama.
Protecting what you’ve Built
Business Owners and Professionals
Problem: One bad day can stop the practice or company that feeds your family.
Fix: Clean authority if you’re unavailable, buy‑sell agreements with funding, and a plan that keeps value in the family.
Retirement Account Holders (IRAs/401(k)/Roth)
Problem: A big account left outright can become a 10‑year tax headache under today’s rules.
Fix: Beneficiaries aligned to current law and, when needed, a retirement‑friendly trust to pace withdrawals and protect inheritances.
Real Estate and Multi‑State Property Owners
Problem: Each state can demand its own probate.
Fix: Title and trust homes correctly now to avoid multi‑state court later; we prep NJ deeds and coordinate out‑of‑state counsel.
When Privacy and Tax Planning Matter
Blended Families and Second/Third Marriages
Problem: A simple will can quietly disinherit children from a prior relationship.
Fix: Structures that care for your spouse and preserve your children’s inheritance—without guesswork.
Advanced and Tax‑Focused Planning
Problem: Larger estates, concentrated stock, crypto/digital/web3 assets, or real estate portfolios need more than basics.
Fix: Quiet, thoughtful structures that reduce tax where possible and keep control where it belongs (all in human language).
Cross‑Border and Non‑Citizen Spouses
Problem: The “unlimited” marital deduction isn’t unlimited for everyone; accounts can freeze.
Fix: The right path so a surviving spouse isn’t surprised by taxes or red tape.
Safety & Compliance Niche Considerations
Firearms and Collections
Problem: A well‑meaning executor can break the law just by moving things.
Fix: A gun trust and a simple transfer playbook—respectful, safe, legal.
Digital Assets and Web3 Founders
Problem: Passwords, private keys, seed phrases, domains, and IP can disappear.
Fix: A quiet plan for access so nothing valuable vanishes and your work and nest egg keeps breathing.
