"My son is an attorney in New Jersey. I am retired and live in Ocean County, New Jersey about 45 minutes away from my son. I needed a lawyer to look at my estate planning documents including Will, Power of Attorney and Health Care Directive. My son recommended Fredrick Niemann in Freehold, New Jersey, specifically Fredrick P. Niemann. I took his advice and met with Mr. Niemann. I am glad that I did. He is a warm and engaging person. No pretense, no airs about him. I immediately felt at ease and we talked about everything that I wanted to do and accomplish with my estate planning. I felt I could open up to him and tell him what was really important to me. He prepared the documents as we discussed and sent them to me in advance to review and approve. Then he scheduled me for a signature session where my appointment was promptly kept and a friendly, positive staff witnessed all of my documents. My son, the attorney, gave me good advice when he recommended Mr. Niemann.
If you are searching for a special attorney, someone who is experienced, likeable as a person and professional, call Mr. Niemann. I felt good about my choice."

The Probate Process in General
Probate is the process of administering the estate of a deceased person. The estate consists of the total property owned by the deceased individual before death and prior to distribution in accordance with their will or trust or, when there is no will or trust, by the laws of inheritance of the state. Proper probate planning is essential to a simple process involving much less stress. However, if the proper planning is not done, a number of steps will take place during the probate process that can make it complicated. These include:
- Deeming the will or trust to be valid or invalid
- Verifying the property on the will or trust
- Determining the distribution of the property
- Allowing creditors to file claims against the estate for unpaid debts
- Fees and taxes for the administration of the estate are approved and paid
- Distribution of the assets commences
