The Matus Law Group Expands to Handle Guardianship and Probate Disputes

The Matus Law Group, a Red Bank, New Jersey-based firm with over three decades of experience in estate planning and related legal services, has expanded its offerings to include dedicated litigation services for guardianship and probate disputes. This move comes as part of the firm's continued growth and commitment to serving the needs of New Jersey families during both the planning and resolution phases of their estate matters.

Christine Matus, the founder and lead attorney at The Matus Law Group, announced the addition of Seth Weintraub, a newly appointed litigation attorney. Weintraub brings a diverse legal background, having earned his Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland in 2015 and his Juris Doctor from American University Washington College of Law in 2018. His career began as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Teresa Kondrup Coyle in Monmouth County, New Jersey, an experience that provided valuable insight into the judicial system and the litigation process.

The Matus Law Group serves communities in Monmouth County, Ocean County, and central New Jersey, including Red Bank, Freehold, Middletown, Tinton Falls, Wall Township, Long Branch, Asbury Park, Holmdel, and Toms River. The firm's new litigation services will address guardianship and probate disputes, including guardianship litigation and probate litigation involving will contests, disputes among beneficiaries, and challenges related to the administration of an estate under New Jersey law.

The Matus Law Group's office is located at 81 E Water St #2C, Toms River, NJ 08753. For consultations, clients can call (732) 281-0060. The firm continues to guide clients through wills, trusts, Medicaid asset protection, special needs planning, and residential real estate matters while now offering focused advocacy in contested matters.

The expansion allows the firm to serve clients not only in proactive planning but also in resolving complex disputes. According to Matus, the addition of a dedicated litigation attorney fills an important need for families who face contested guardianship proceedings and disputes that arise during the probate process.

Guardianship and probate matters in Ocean and Monmouth County are handled through the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Probate Part, in Freehold, and these proceedings can become emotionally charged and legally complex. NJ estate planning attorney Christine Matus notes that the firm's expanded services now address both the planning and the courtroom sides of these issues. The firm continues to guide clients through wills, trusts, Medicaid asset protection, special needs planning, and residential real estate matters while now offering focused advocacy in contested matters.
