Estate Planning

The Private Client Practice Group's lawyers work with clients on a private and personal basis to help them pass their property to their families both during lifetime and upon death. This personal planning takes into account estate and income tax issues, closely-held businesses, generation skipping issues including second marriages, and planning for special needs of children and other heirs. We analyze and implement tax reduction and asset protection techniques, help our clients plan for possible disability, and coordinate life insurance and retirement planning.

Probate & Trust Administration

The members of the Probate and Trust Administration Practice guide executors and trustees through the process of administering property in estates and trusts. They handle court filings, tax analysis and tax return preparation, creditor issues, retirement plans and IRAs, life insurance and the many other aspects of making sure that the intentions of the individual who established the estate plan or trust are carried out.
