Estate Planning and Probate

Estate planning is important to ensure the orderly transfer of family assets, as well as to protect those assets from unnecessary taxation. We can assist with pre-death planning and transfers, as well as making the decisions as to what type of estate structure is best for you and your family. Good planning requires legal advice. Without it, the potential or unintended gifts, unnecessary taxation, and family discord increases immeasurably.

We can help you create an estate plan that will preserve your legacy. Depending on your circumstances and intentions, our advice and work can range from simple wills to complicated trust instruments.

Our attorneys offer the following assistance:

• Creating estate plans with emphasis on orderly succession of family businesses
• Assisting with solutions to tax questions
• Preparing and administering wills, trusts, guardianships, and conservatorships
• Administering and assisting clients with probate proceedings
