Attorney, Legal Counselor, and Consultant

At Jeffrey M. Zabner, a Law Corporation we are dedicated to developing estate plans by remembering that “it’s about everyone you love and everything you own”.


When an issue arises involving a loved one’s estate, or when you want to begin expertly planning for your and your families future, reach out to us. We’ll help you leave your legacy and make your mark.

Does an Estate Plan Need an Update?

  • Have the assumptions you used previously to create an estate plan changed?


  • Are family circumstances the same or changed?


  • Have assets changed since then?


  • Has your health or that of beneficiaries changed since then?

LIKE A FINE AUTOMOBILE OR A PIANO, YOUR PLAN SHOULD BE FINE-TUNED TO ADAPT TO WHAT TOMORROW MAY BRING, OR YESTERDAY HAS WROUGHT..

When you first plan your estate, you operate under certain assumptions regarding your assets, your children, and more. But circumstances change. Let us help you update your wills, trusts, and advance medical directives. Even the most well-drafted estate plans need an adjustment when life happens.
