On April 5, New Jersey experienced a 4.8 magnitude earthquake. This was very scary and was felt all throughout the tri-state area. Many people were caught off guard and some large corporate buildings were even evacuated. There were even many aftershocks felt throughout the state.  

Experiencing natural disasters makes most people think about the following daunting question: “What would happen to my loved ones if something happened to me during this natural disaster?” Sure, there are some of us who are prepared with our estate planning, and we have been prepared for anything that may happen in life. However, there are others that have not had the time to necessarily make an estate planning appointment with a trust and estates or elder law attorney our top priority.
