<p class="MsoNormal">Appears that I may need to associate counsel in New Jersey to assist with the settlement of a trust for which the deceased settlor/trustee was a resident of New Jersey and the instrument is governed by laws of NJ.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The successor trustee is an existing client of mine and resident of Washington State. We have a failure of line situation with directions in the instrument that the trust is to be divided with half to the heirs at law of the settlor and
half to the heirs at law of the settlor’s wife (she predeceased him). The heirs of the settlor have yet to be determined …most likely distant cousins in Europe. That is the condensed version of the facts. The NJ counsel who drafted the trust instrument
was either a sole practitioner / small firm and has retired to Florida. Any suggestions/recommendations on NJ counsel that I might contact?
