Rebecca S. Ashkenazi

Ms. Ashkenazi is a Partner at Wolfenson & Ashkenazi, P.C. Her current practice focuses on Real Estate matters, Wills, Trusts, and Estates (including Probate matters), as well as Guardianships. She regularly handles complex transactions and estate matters with a practical, client-centered approach, guiding individuals and families through significant financial and personal decisions. Ms. Ashkenazi also represents clients in guardianship proceedings and has been appointed by the Court to serve as counsel for alleged incapacitated individuals, a role she approaches with particular care and a strong sense of responsibility to protect the rights and dignity of vulnerable persons.

Prior to focusing on real estate and estate planning, her practice was dedicated to representing abandoned, abused, and neglected children, as well as working on high-net-worth matrimonial matters. That experience continues to inform her work today, bringing a thoughtful and empathetic perspective to matters that are often deeply personal. She found this area of practice especially meaningful, and she believes that work helps her to continue to support clients through important life transitions while helping to secure and protect their futures.

Ms. Ashkenazi has been named one of New Jersey's "Best Lawyers for Families" by NJ Family Magazine for four consecutive years, an award earned through client nominations.
