Sound estate planning is the only means an individual can utilize to insure that his or her assets are distributed according to the individuals desires while minimizing any possible estate tax liability. Our firm has drafted hundreds of wills and trust agreements for clients for both modest and substantial needs.
In addition to wills and trust agreements, we can advise clients with respect to living wills, health care proxies, and powers of attorney so that costly and time-consuming conservatorship and/or guardianship proceedings may be avoided. We have also represented numerous fiduciaries with respect to the probate or administration of estates. With many years of local experience, our attorneys have developed working relationships with the staff of the local Surrogate's Court in order to provide an expeditious and complete settling of an individual's estate.
