The time it takes to get an inheritance can vary widely between estates in New Jersey. Many factors that can impact a Personal Representative.

An Executor or Personal Representative should clearly communicate to you an estimate of when you are receiving your inheritance.

Kevin K.
I was referred to Peter after my divorce to put documents together to protect my assets. He suggested a number of documents that would help protect my children and their future. Also, he put together wills, power of attorney and living wills. I initially spoke with him on the phone, he took 30-40 minutes to understand my situation and explain the benefits of having such documents. After a week or two, I met with him in his office and signed the documents. Everything else was remote phone calls and emails. He re-explained these documents and what whom to share. I am in good hands.
