Our Estate Planning Practice

When you hire us to help you craft and execute an effective estate plan, we’ll start the process by learning as much as we can about you—about your financial situation and your estate planning objectives. We’ll carefully explain the different strategies to you, including the preparation of dispositive documents, the re-titling of assets to avoid probate, and the use of lifetime gifts.

Once you’ve decided which approach best fits your needs and goals, we’ll prepare and execute the documents required to put your plan in place, including:

• Simple or complex wills
• Trusts, if appropriate
• Powers of attorney
• Living wills and health care proxies
• Special needs planning — We can help you plan your estate to protect a family member with special needs, so that estate assets aren’t dissipated to pay for any specialized care

During the estate planning process, we’ll look closely at the potential tax ramifications of the different strategies, so that you can use appropriate tax planning strategies to manage the potential tax liability of your estate.

We can also help you use other tools to ease the transfer of your estate and minimize tax consequences, including the use of charitable foundations, life insurance trusts, family limited partnerships and qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs).
