Estate Planning and Probate

We have the benefit of literally decades of experience assisting clients establishing, and executing, effective and appropriate estate plans that govern both the maintenance of assets during lifetime and distribution of assets upon death. This includes drafting wills, powers of attorney, living wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents geared toward minimizing any estate tax liability. We also work with personal representatives of estates to help you complete the steps required to successfully settle the estate of a loved one through the probate process, including tax issues and compliance with relevant local laws. To learn more, visit our estate planning and probate page.
