Hi, we live with my in laws and split all the bills but my father in law wants a will to leave my wife the house. What is the cost of this? Thank you

A simple will can be very inexpensive.  If you live in Ocean or Monmouth County, please call my office and I can help.  The cost of a simple will could be as low as $400 - $500.

Is there a type of will in which I can add items to later without having to rewrite the whole will. IE jewlery,lenox and such

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
All of those items should be included in a memorandum that can be included with the Will document. That would allow you to add or delete from the memo without changing the Will. You should not list personal items like that in the Will.

In NJ can an executor grant a durable power of attorney to his sibling to assist in handling the estate matters?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson

Yes !  the banks may have an issue with this - but be insistent.  I do it all the time for my clients.  as the Executor you will still need to sign tax returns, contracts, etc. but the more administrative tasks, such as going to the bank, can be done by someone else via your POA.  The bank will most likely not let you pull all of the money out of the account until you either pay estate/inheritance taxes, or prove no taxes are due by obtaining a waiver.
