Planning for What Matters Most
Estate planning is about more than documents—it is about ensuring that your wishes are honored, your family is protected, and your assets are transferred to the people and causes you care about, efficiently and with as little disruption as possible.
At Francis D. McIntyre, PC, we work with individuals and families to create comprehensive estate plans tailored to their circumstances. Mr. McIntyre drafts all estate planning documents personally, and his litigation background gives him insight into how plans are challenged—and how to structure them to hold up when it matters.
Estate Planning Documents
Will
Directs the distribution of your assets and names an executor and guardians for minor children.
Power of Attorney
Designates someone to manage your financial and legal affairs if you become unable to do so.
Health Care Directive
Documents your medical wishes and designates a healthcare proxy to make decisions on your behalf.
Trust
Provides flexible control over asset distribution, can avoid probate, and may offer tax advantages.
Trust & Estate Administration
When a loved one passes, administering an estate or trust can be complex and emotionally difficult. We guide executors, administrators, and trustees through the process—from filing with the Surrogate's Court to distributing assets—ensuring that the decedent's wishes are carried out properly and that fiduciaries are protected.
Estate Litigation
When estate disputes arise—including undue influence or incapacity claims, will contests, fiduciary breaches, or caveats—we handle contested matters in New Jersey courts as well. Our litigation experience in this area is a significant advantage for clients facing a contested estate proceeding.
