We provide guidance and assist the fiduciary during each phase of the probate and trust administration process, which often includes tax planning, funding of trusts, contested estates, and collecting and distributing assets.

Depending on the person and their estate, estate planning can be straightforward or complicated. Regardless of your situation, our attorneys will assist in preparing wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, and other related estate-planning needs. We want to ensure wealth is passed down in the most streamlined and tax-efficient manner possible, consistent with the client’s values, ethics, and personal goals.

We design and implement legitimate tax-reduction strategies for individuals and families using leveraging techniques, such as dynasty trusts, intra-family sale agreements, family limited partnerships, grantor retained annuity trusts, qualified personal residence trusts, self-canceling installment notes, private annuities and college savings plans, and maximizing estate, gift and generation-skipping tax exemptions.

We develop and implement business succession strategies for closely held business owners and their families, including multigenerational estate plans with LLC operating agreements, partnership agreements, and shareholder buy-sell agreements.

We design, consolidate, and implement tax and estate planning strategies to help generations of families plan for their future. Estate planning when there are multiple parties involved can be overwhelming. We aim to make this process easy and fair for your family and to provide peace of mind that your wealth will be protected for years to come.

Our attorneys have significant experience in forming, structuring, and advising tax-exempt and other not-for-profit organizations. Our representation includes forming public charities, private foundations, charitable lead trusts, and pooled income funds, obtaining tax-exemptions from the Internal Revenue Service and state agencies, advising on day-to-day transactions, and addressing UBTI issues.
