Estate Planning and Administration

Helping clients to plan for the future of their families and businesses is an important and enriching focus of our practice. Crafting a legally sound and financially fair legacy, especially where disabled children or adults are concerned, is a source of great comfort to our clients and one of great satisfaction to our attorneys. 

We provide a full range of estate planning and wealth transfer services, from the straightforward to the complex.

Our services include the drafting of wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, life insurance trusts, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare powers of attorney. In addition, we regularly advise clients on asset protection, business succession, family gifting, charitable giving and tax planning strategies and related legal documentation.

We take the time to learn about the details of each client’s finances and family relationships, and every estate plan we create is individually tailored to the personal goals and vision of that client. Our estate plans preserve wealth and avoid federal and state death taxes to the greatest extent possible, without introducing needless complexity or compromising the goals of the estate.

For more information about our specific expertise in estate planning, please contact one of our attorneys for a more complete description of our background and capabilities.
