Our Estate Planning Practice

To help you put together an effective estate plan, we need to learn as much as we can about your financial situation, as well as your goals. Once we have an idea of what you own, what you owe, and how you want to divide your estate, we will carefully explain the different strategies for accomplishing your objectives, including the use of wills and trusts, the re-titling of assets to avoid probate, and the bestowal of lifetime gifts. Based on our understanding of your goals, as well as our knowledge of the tax consequences of different strategies, we will recommend an approach.

Once you have decided how you want to proceed, we will prepare and execute all the documentation necessary to put your estate plan in place, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care directives.

We also work with executors, administrators, personal representatives and heirs, helping you successfully take the estate of a loved one through the probate process. To learn more, see our page on probate administration.
