CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ – Nov 3, 2023 – If you’ve ever been an executor of an estate, you understand that you were handed a job that was likely far more than you bargained for.
Sure, you were chosen because you’re trustworthy. But closing an estate is an incredible amount of hard work and highly time-consuming. There also can be hurtful family squabbling. Oh, and one more thing: Unknowingly, do something wrong. As an executor, you can be sued.
Tim Gray and Bruce Porter had encountered far too many people burdened by the estate settlement process. The real work kicks in when people are grieving the loss of a loved one, managing family and career responsibilities or both, making matters worse. Last fall, they decided to attack the problem and partnered to form New Jersey Executor and Probate Experts, a one-of-a-kind service comprising a network of premiere estate administration experts who can work individually or coordinate services to cover every responsibility required to close an estate.
“NJEPE is a one-stop shop and the only firm that brings all executor services under one roof,” says Gray, NJEPE’s director of services. “We have an a la carte approach. Whether someone needs a little help or a lot—one specific service or several—NJEPE can help.”
Plus, Gray says, as a single point of access, the competitive agreed price structure for services puts a lid on expenses and preserves the estate’s value.
“Executors and administrators usually need attorneys or accountants first, and we’ve assembled a team of the best cost-effective attorneys and accountants in their respective fields,” Gray says. “These professionals appreciate our involvement because we keep the process going and reduce delays. This also plays a role in maintaining the value of an estate and keeping the administration fees in check.”
Knowing how and in what order to address diverse responsibilities is vital. For example, prioritizing tasks in the wrong order can not only delay the time at which an estate closes but also create expenses that potentially put the monies for distribution at a shortfall. In that situation, the executor could be held liable to pay back the funds to fulfill the distribution requirements of the estate. “Working with us eliminates that risk,” says Gray.
And while wealth distribution is an essential part of the process, much more must be done. Estate inventory, asset searches, antique and jewelry appraisals, real estate appraisals, home clean out, residential repair and realtor services are among the tasks that may require attention, and NJEPE offers all these services.
The firm can assist in liquidating assets like auto, furniture, antiques and collectibles. It also has an investment division that can offer a property cash-out to execute a quick sale.
