We assist clients in creating plans for the disposition of their estates after death and for the perpetuation of family businesses. This involves the laws of Wills, Trusts, probate, property, marriage, and state and federal taxation. We prepare documents that preserve as much flexibility as possible and provide opportunity for later tax planning. This is important given the frequent changes to the tax laws we often experience. When you need an estate planning lawyer, we have the expertise and experience to address all of your needs. In addition to Wills and Revocable Living Trusts, we prepare documents such as Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs), Qualified Personal Residence Trusts (QPRTs), Qualified Domestic Trusts (QDOTs), and Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) to carry out lifetime estate planning objectives and reduce or eliminate federal and state estate taxes. Optimal tax planning may also involve the rearrangement of ownership of property within a family unit, by gift or otherwise. It may also involve planning for multiple generations.
