Many local families spend decades building their savings, buying a home, and preparing for the future, only to see their hard-earned assets depleted by nursing home costs, legal fees, or avoidable taxes.
For example, many people assume that simply having a standard Will protects their assets. In reality, a Will guarantees your estate goes through probate—a public, often time-consuming legal process that can tie up your family’s inheritance for months. Furthermore, with local long-term care and nursing home expenses now exceeding $18,000 per month, a sudden health crisis can wipe out a family’s life savings if proper Medicaid planning isn’t established well in advance.
To help local residents navigate these complex laws and protect their wealth, Haas & Zaltz, LLP is hosting a FREE Estate Planning Workshop on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Glatt Ambiance in Lakewood.
During this highly informative event, Emanuel Haas, Esq., and Ari J. Zaltz, Esq., will reveal the foundational strategies used to shield assets and secure your family’s future. The workshop will cover critical, often-overlooked questions, including:
The 40% Inheritance Tax: Will your family be subject to this massive tax, and how can you legally avoid it?
Asset Protection: Are your home and savings shielded from lawsuits, creditors, and financial predators?
Medicaid Planning: How can you qualify for Medicaid to cover $18,000+ monthly care expenses without losing your life savings?
Probate Avoidance: What exactly is probate, why does everyone want to avoid it, and what tools actually bypass it?
Protecting Your Heirs: How do you leave money to a financially irresponsible child, or ensure your children inherit your assets if you pass away first and your spouse remarries?
Special Needs Planning: How can you protect a special needs beneficiary without jeopardizing their critical government benefits?
Whether you need to create your first estate plan or update an outdated one, this workshop will provide clear, actionable insights into Wills, Trusts, High Net Worth Planning, and Creditor Asset Protection.
