Few people want the government to determine what happens with their wealth, security, and assets once they've passed on. Yet without proper estate planning in the absence of a clearly executed will this is exactly what occurs.

What's even more concerning is how often that single and married parents of minor children neglect to sit down with a New Jersey estate planning attorney and designate a guardian in the event of their untimely death or deaths.
Probate is the legal process by which a person's assets are distributed after death. If a person dies with a valid will, the estate is considered testate, and the personal representative (executor) is named to attend to the resolution of the estate. If a person dies without a will (intestate), the Court will appoint a personal representative in accordance with the statute.

Marcia Polgar Zalewski handled a closing for me three years ago. Her inefficiency, disorganization, and unprofessionalism know no bounds. I have asked her repeatedly for documentation regarding an escrow fund for repairs to be made by sellers. I have yet to receive it. Further, I have not received the $9,000 in funds set aside by her in an account allegedly to protect me. Zalewski has not provided any evidence that the escrow funds are still in her account. At this point, I find her lack of transparency and withholding of documents and funds unethical and dishonest. I cannot recommend her with

I sent her all the information she requested to do a deed change and each time she never got back to me to follow up. After several unanswered emails over 8 months, I found a new attorney.

I have contacted her 3 weeks in a row and get no response. My bill is up to date. I have always been reasonable with her. I guess I need a new attorney.

Awesome lawyer! I've had one other experience with a lawyer locally, and it was horrible. If you're in the NJ area and need a lawyer for such services, I would definitely recommend this office. Thank you for handling my affairs with respect.

Marcia is a wonderful attorney who is extremely knowledgeable and responsive. I worked with her on a closing for a business location and I highly recommend her. I don’t write reviews often, but when I do it’s because someone did a superb job.

I strongly recommend that you stay clear of Ms. Zalewski. In dealing with her she does not advise her clients on their best interests. She finds making things up and documenting them acceptable. There are many good lawyers in Somerville. Ms. Zalewski is not one of them.
