1. Problems if You Have No Will

If you leave no Will or your Will is declared invalid because it was improperly prepared or is not admissible to probate: 1.        The procedure to distribute assets becomes more complicated and more expensive. It will require all of the children to select someone to be the Administrator, then all the children to sign a Renunciation Affidavit in front of a notary. If all the children do not sign the Renunciation Affidavit if front of notaries, then a Complaint and Order with have to be filed in the Superior Court. Cost over $3,000. The preparation of a Will for under $400 eliminates these costs. 2.        Additional expenses will be incurred and extra work will be required to qualify an administrator-Surety Bond, additional costs often over $1,000 and extra legal fees 3.         State law determines who gets assets, not you. People who dislike you or don’t care about you can get your assets. Nothing to be received by grandchildren or charities you like. 4.         If you have no spouse or close relatives the State may take your property. Most people who rather have charities or friends get their money. 5.         It often causes fights and stress within your family and sometimes lawsuits 6. A Judge determines who gets custody of children or grand children. A greedy brother or crazy mother in law could ask the court for custody. 7.        You lose the opportunity to reduce State inheritance taxes and Federal estate taxes without improper planning          When loved ones are grieving and dealing with death, they shouldn’t be overwhelmed with Financial concerns and estate problems if there is no Will or not prepared or signed properly.           Who don’t you want to receive your assets?          Who is not the best choice to raise your children, or safeguard your children's money for college?   Do you want children, or grandchildren, to get money when they turn 18?  Will they invest money wisely, or go to Seaside and play games?       Beware of online documents not prepared by an attorney. Never use a form on line. No one tries to do their own electrical work on their home anymore or change their own oil. Have a professional do it right.

4. Recent case DWI sentence vacated when state failed to prove that prior conviction was not based on Alcotest breath sample held inadmissible by Supreme Court, ruling stayed by Supreme court State v Zingis 471 N.J. Super. 590  (App. Div. 2022) Defendant appeals his conviction after a trial de novo in the Law Division of driving while intoxicated (DWI), contrary to N.J.S.A. 39:4-50. He also appeals his sentence, arguing the court erred when it considered his conviction to be a second DWI offense for sentencing purposes. The court affirms defendant's conviction. However, because the State did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that his prior DWI conviction was not based on an Alcotest breath sample test result rendered inadmissible by the holding in State v. Cassidy, 235 N.J. 482 (2018), the court vacates his sentence, and remands for resentencing as a first offense. Cassidy arose from the misconduct of State Trooper Marc Dennis who falsified Alcotest calibration records over a number of years. The Cassidy Court held that breath sample test results obtained on Alcotest instruments calibrated by Dennis are inadmissible, calling into question the validity of tens of thousands of DWI convictions based on such results. The Cassidy Court directed the State to provide notice to all defendants whose prior convictions were subject to challenge because they were based on test results from Alcotest instruments calibrated by Dennis. The State subsequently compiled a list of defendants who received notice as directed by Cassidy. In the Zingis appeal, defendant was convicted of DWI during the time Dennis was falsely certifying Alcotest calibration records. At sentencing for the present offense, Zingis argued the State was required to produce the calibration records from his prior conviction to prove that Dennis was not involved in his conviction. The trial court agreed with the State's argument that the absence of defendant's name on the list of defendants who were sent a Cassidy notice was sufficient proof that defendant's prior conviction was not tainted by Dennis. The court held that in the absence of evidence of how the Cassidy list was compiled and that it definitively includes all prior DWI convictions that relied on test results from Alcotest instruments calibrated by Dennis, the absence of a defendant's name on the list was insufficient proof that the defendant's prior conviction was not invalidated by Cassidy. The court made a similar holding with respect to the State's assertion, without supporting evidence, that Dennis was not involved in any DWI convictions that arose out of Camden County. The court noted that the burden of Dennis's malfeasance as a law enforcement officer falls on the State, which cannot escape on the grounds of convenience and expediency its obligation to prove that a prior conviction on which it relies for an enhanced sentence in a subsequent prosecution was not tainted by his misconduct.
