Estate Planning

 

Our estate planning expertise  includes analysis of planning alternatives to ensure that our clients’ personal family goals and generational wealth transfers are cost-efficiently implemented utilizing the most tax effective structures.  We integrate basic planning tools such as wills, revocable trusts, life insurance trusts, and advanced directives, with more sophisticated devices such as irrevocable trusts, intra-family loans and gifts, dynasty trusts, charitable trusts, and family limited partnerships and limited liability companies.  In addition, we work closely with our clients’ family offices and other trusted advisers to help ensure the structure of our clients’ business and personal interests align with their short and long-term financial, tax, and personal estate planning objectives. 

 

Charitable Planning

 

We counsel clients on charitable gift planning, including the creation of private foundations and public charities, charitable lead trusts, and charitable remainder trusts as vehicles for tax planning, the generational transfer of wealth, and as integral tools in meeting our clients’ philanthropic goals. 

 

Estate Administration Matters

 

We bring a unique perspective to estate planning with our experience representing clients in both estate planning and the implementation of their plans after death including representing families before Probate Courts.  Providing advice and representation to both individual and corporate fiduciaries, our lawyers have experience in every aspect of trust and estate administration from probate, to the preparation and filing of estate tax returns, through the handling of federal and state estate tax examinations.
