Description

Our law firm limits its practice to only estate planning. In more than forty years of legal experience we have prepared over 5000 estate plans and administered more than 700 estates and trusts. We provide legal and tax counsel to our clients in areas such as living trusts, irrevocable trusts, wills, powers of attorney, family limited partnerships (FLP), limited liability companies (LLC), family business succession, qualified personal residence trusts (QPRT), charitable trusts, qualified domestic trusts (QDOT) for non-citizen spouses, probate administration, post-mortem trust administration, estate tax returns and other matters. Having administrered over 700 trusts after the trust creator has passed away, has provided us with a wealth of experience in the "back-end" of the trust process. This uniquely provides us the ability to incorporate that experience into the "front-end" of the trust process, when we draft your documents. This provide our clients with the highest quality estate plan. If you would like to know how our clients feel about the services we provide, see CLIENT REVIEWS . As you can imagine, there are many choices and options available to you when you prepare your estate plan. How do you decide what estate planning "tools" are best for you? Making these decisions can be compared to walking along the table at a fine buffet restaurant. There are many items to choose from, but not all of the choices on the table may be appealing. You choose only those that appeal to you. Based upon our experience, we are uniquely qualified to assist you in making your estate planning choices. One of the single most important things for us to do, is to listen to you and determine what your goals and objectives are. We will conduct a thorough and detailed analysis of what the assets in your estate consist of and who you want to leave them to. Then, a determination of the tax consequences (if any) of the transfer of those assets must be made. Any special needs of your beneficiaries should be explored so that your specific goals can be achieved. We will also give strong consideration to protecting your loved ones' inheritance form divorce and creditor claims, lawsuits, illness and disability. Most clients also request a plan that guarantees that the inheritance will pass from children to grandchildren, rather than to in-laws or other parties. We then prepare the plan that would best accomplish those goals. The tools we use in planning estates are often basic and easily understood, however, they can sometimes be complex and difficult to understand. It is our job to educate you in the operation of the more complex estate planning tools so that you, with the help of our advice, can make an educated decision about which planning tools you will select from the "buffet table." Many of our clients are also looking for good, solid dependable financial advice with respect to their investment and retirement portfolios. We are lawyers and not financial planners. We do not hold any securities or insurance licenses and are not authorized to provide you with financial planning or investment advice or purchase any financial products.
