Practice Areas > Estate and Succession Planning
Estate and succession planning requires not only a firm grasp of the complex laws of taxation, trusts and estates, but also a deep understanding of a family's needs and desires.

Having over thirty five years of experience in providing guidance to families, we are confident that we can structure an estate or succession plan that works for you.

Our full-spectrum of services includes:

  • Family business succession —We position families for future success by structuring an orderly transfer of closely-held businesses to the next generation;

  • Estate planning—Through the use of wills and trusts we structure the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next while minimizing the tax cost and balancing personal family issues;

  • Estate administration—We work closely with estate trustees, families, trust companies and charitable organizations to administer and distribute estates in a sensitive, efficient and professional manner;

  • Charities and not-for-profits – We advise our clients on planned giving, including the establishment of charitable organizations and public and private foundations.
