Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Please don't do this yourselves. Consult lawyers about a pre-nuptial agreement and also about your estate plans. With children from previous marriages, you need to do careful estate planning so that your respective children are adequately protected. If you use off the shelf forms or otherwise try to DIY, including forms on this site or LegalZoom, for example, your children will have to deal with the mess and will not get what they are entitled to and what you would have wanted. It will be too late to fix when you are gone. Any house that you are investing in should have a co-owners' agreement. Don't get into it without adequate agreements in place. Please!

This is not meant to discourage you from your plans. I wish you both happiness. Just take care of the planning you should do with professional (lawyers') help, first.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
