In every aspect of our estate planning, we work to minimize the tax burden and preserve and protect the assets and/or business.

The tools we use to create your estate plan may include:

• family limited partnerships
• guardianships
• conservatorships

Probate

Our estate planning attorneys handle both supervised and unsupervised estates and work with the Personal Representatives of estates which require probate administration.

Our firm works with the Personal Representative to transfer assets to the heirs set out in wills or, in the case of a situation where there is no will, by intestate law. The goal of the firm during probate administration is to fulfill the legal, administrative and tax requirements so that assets can be transferred to heirs and other beneficiaries as quickly and efficiently as possible.
