Comprehensive Services

Wills, trusts and estate planning

Using estate planning tools that include wills, trusts, special needs trusts, term trusts, financial and medical powers of attorney, we will customize an estate plan that meets personal needs and specific goals. We enable clients to protect current assets, minimize exposure to estate tax liability and clarify their wishes regarding the exact distribution of their assets.

Elder law, Medicaid planning and guardianships

We help clients to establish guardianships for the care of a loved one no longer physically or mentally able to make medical and financial decisions without assistance. For clients facing transition into a nursing home or other long-term care arrangement, we counsel on strategies for asset preservation.

Probate and trust administration

We help executors, administrators and trustees understand and fulfill their obligations including navigating the probate process to accomplish an orderly distribution of an estate or trust.

Probate and trust litigation

When disputes arise during the probate administration or guardianship process, we aggressively represent our clients to protect their interests.

Estate tax planning

Estates can be subject to taxation. We provide estate planning techniques that can reduce, and in some cases eliminate, state and federal estate taxes.

Estate planning for same sex couples

Estate planning for same sex couples is vitally important to protect your relationship, children, property and finances, so you are both protected in life and your assets will pass according to your wishes after death.

Trust reformation

When documents that were prepared some time ago present unintended dilemmas or estate taxes, our firm assists families and trustees to correct those matters and/or avoid the unintended consequences, when possible.

Locating missing heirs

We have extensive experience in locating missing heirs and beneficiaries so that a decedent's assets are properly distributed according to the wishes of the laws of intestacy where the decedent did not leave a will.
