Estate planning is a part of life. All families need to consider what tomorrow may bring. Careful estate planning helps to ensure a smooth transfer of property and assets from one generation to the next. It also can address specific, known events that need to be prepared for.
Wills
Trusts
If you already have an existing will, our firm can evaluate your will to determine if adding a trust would further your estate plan goals. All estate plans should be periodically reviewed to ensure they are up-to-date with any changes in the law and your circumstances.
Cases involving a breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and other business disputes involve people in a range of occupations, from notaries to vice presidents.

Tax Law
Trusts are a powerful and flexible tool for estate planning. You may fund a trust with specific assets for a specific purpose, or you may move all of your assets into a trust for tax planning. Trusts permit an estate to avoid probate and the public disclosure that accompanies the probate administration process. We examine your assets and provide advice as to which type of trust would be best suited to your goals, whether to minimize your taxes, creating a gift for a charitable organization, or setting up a special needs trust for a disabled family member.
