Do I need a will or a living trust?

It depends on your assets and goals. A will is simpler and cheaper; a living trust can avoid probate and keep matters private. A short consultation with a Maple Shade estate attorney will tell you which fits.

How much does probate cost and how long does it take?

Probate cost and timeline vary by estate and county. Simple Maple Shade-area estates can take several months, while complex ones run over a year. Ask the attorney for a realistic estimate for your situation.
