The development of an estate plan is a process that is incredibly personal. At the same time, an estate plan is a tool that is needed to protect our families. The creation of a living will and other health directives is another process that allows individuals to determine the type of care that they receive. Give the intimacy of these issues, it is important that the client has a comfortable relationship with his or her attorney to create an estate plan unique to each individual.

Our Estate Planning attorneys expend considerable time and attention on the development of comprehensive estate plans for our clients. Such plans are designed to address the needs of the individual client as well as the client’s family responsibilities. An estate plan may involve the use of revocable or irrevocable trusts, gifts, sales and other similar transactions involving family members. Our firm also provides comprehensive assistance in the administration of both trusts and estates. Particular attention is placed on planning designed to minimize taxes. We have extensive experience in dealing with both State and Federal taxing authorities in connection with the filing, preparation and auditing of tax returns.
