The Step-Up in Basis Myth Can Be Costly
Tax myths have a way of surviving long after the facts have changed.

Gift and Estate Tax: The Boogeyman
Beginning in 2026, the federal lifetime exclusion against gift and estate tax is scheduled to increase to $15,000,000 per individual. In simple terms, this means that a person can give away—or die owning—up to $15 million in assets without paying any federal gift or estate tax. https://www.eldercarelawyer.com/blog/gift-and-estate-tax-the-boogeyman/
Understanding the Role of a Guardian in New Jersey
Planning for the future is something many people postpone until it is too late. In New Jersey, when an individual becomes unable to manage their own personal, financial, or health-related affairs, the absence of proper planning can lead to the need for a court-appointed guardian. Understanding how guardianship works—and how it can be avoided—is crucial for families seeking to protect vulnerable loved ones. https://www.eldercarelawyer.com/blog/understanding-the-role-of-a-guardian-in-new-jersey/
Why Everyone Should Have a Power of Attorney
Few legal documents offer more practical protection than a Durable General Power of Attorney (POA). It ensures that someone you trust can manage your finances if you become ill, incapacitated, or simply unavailable to sign a document. Yet many residents of New Jersey still put off executing one—often until it’s too late. https://www.eldercarelawyer.com/blog/why-everyone-should-have-a-power-of-attorney/
How Medicaid Protects the Spouse at Home
When a family member needs long-term care—such as care in a nursing home or assisted living residence—it can be devastating. It is emotionally devastating to think that a loved one will need care with his basic needs for the remainder of his life. It is also financially devastating. https://www.eldercarelawyer.com/blog/how-medicaid-protects-the-spouse-at-home/
Should I Have More than One Guardian?
I have been practicing elder law for twenty-five years. During that time, I have been involved in hundreds (if not thousands) of guardianship actions—helping clients attain guardianship over a loved one or serving as guardian for individuals who do not have family members or whose family members are fighting. https://www.eldercarelawyer.com/blog/should-i-have-more-than-one-guardian/
