State Estate Planning Guides

Estate planning is one of the most state-specific areas of law. The same plan, executed in a different state, can be a great plan or an expensive mistake. These guides cover the rules that matter most in our three jurisdictions.

Key Points

  • New Jersey — inheritance tax classes, surrogate probate, common pitfalls
  • New York — estate tax cliff, Surrogate's Court probate, dynasty trust limits
  • Ohio — DAPT statute, TOD deeds, modern trust code
