Thank you for expressing interest in an estate plan. Once we have a completed questionnaire, the firm will be in a better position to recommend the estate planning documents which we believe would be beneficial to your needs.

The single most important item in estate planning is accurate and complete information. An estate plan is only as good as the information upon which it is based. This includes both personal and financial information. To this end, we ask you to complete this confidential questionnaire to the best of your ability.

If you cannot provide all the requested information, do not put off your appointment, it is better to begin the process and complete gathering the information along the way. Please be sure all names are spelled correctly

Feel free to call our office with questions regarding the questionnaire as they may arise.

The attorneys at Sussan, Greenwald & Wesler, look forward to assisting you with your Estate Planning needs. Thank you for all us to serve you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your attorney at (609) 409-3500.

The information contained in this questionnaire is, and shall remain, confidential and privileged. Please provide as much of all following information as is practical.
