Creating an estate plan
Drafting simple and complex wills

Creating the best estate plan
Our attorneys review your family arrangements, financial situation and philosophical goals to advise you on the best approach to planning your estate. We thoroughly analyze your objectives and strategize the best means of:
Transferring your assets
Minimizing taxes
Establishing guardianship for your minor children
Supporting personal philanthropic causes
Protecting your loved ones
Writing your Last Will and Testament
A Will provides you with the opportunity to distribute your property, establish care for your loved ones and otherwise express your wishes upon your death. A Will is especially necessary if you intend to leave property to somebody besides a blood relative, such as a domestic partner, friend or charity. If you die without a Will, state statutes determine how your property is distributed and a court may determine who cares for your minor children and even what happens to your beloved pet - decisions that might not reflect your desires. Our attorneys can draft an estate plan that ensures your intentions are honored.
Establishing a trust
Our attorneys evaluate whether specific legal tools can benefit your estate and discuss your many options, including living trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, credit shelter trusts, special needs trusts, disclaimer trusts and qualified personal residence trusts all of which may benefit your family or save taxes.
Estate Administration
If you have been named as an Executor or Trustee, you may have many questions as to the administration of the Estate. We can assist in this important task by managing the estate, providing postmortem planning to reduce estate taxes and preparing the Estate and Inheritance tax returns. In addition, the firm is experienced in Probate Litigation - - both in representing the Executor and beneficiaries.
Choosing a guardian for your child
When devising your estate plan, the care of your children is likely your foremost concern. We advise you on making crucial decisions about the financial support, protection and well-being of your children including naming a guardian who will raise your children according to your parental philosophies.
