Estate Planning, Probate Disputes, and Fiduciary Services

STRATEGIES TO SECURE YOUR FAMILY’S FUTURE

Our Estate Planning, Probate Disputes, and Fiduciary Services Practice Group works closely with individuals and families to design and implement thorough estate plans that meet your distinct needs.  We help you manage and protect your wealth, defer and avoid estate taxes, and give your families security in the future.  Our attorneys assist with the sensitive and often complicated area of probating an estate, including preparing and filing court paperwork, re-titling assets, preparing any necessary estate tax returns, and preparing fiduciary accounts.

OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH ENSURES SEAMLESS ESTATE PLANNING AT EVERY TURN, INCLUDING:

• We serve as personal representatives or trustees, either alone or with another person, to ensure each trust and estate is managed prudently and in accordance with the client’s wishes.
• Alongside our Family Law group, we prepare prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and represent clients in adoption, guardianship, and conservatorship matters.

The attorneys in our group are well-versed in probate litigation.  We regularly advise clients in their capacity as fiduciary or beneficiary of an estate and trust, whether the matter involves a will contest or merely seeks to resolve ambiguous or conflicting terms in an estate plan.  We also frequently serve as expert witnesses in divorce matters involving trusts and gifted or inherited property.  Whatever the matter, our practical approach enables us to assist the parties in reaching a fair and reasonable settlement without protracted court proceedings.

PROTECTING YOUR ASSETS FOR THE FUTURE

Whether assisting with your estate planning needs or serving as a trustee or personal representative of an estate, our fiduciary services team brings expertise, diligence, and compassion.  Since the choice of fiduciary can have profound impacts on you and your family, our attorneys place the utmost importance on ensuring your wishes are respected and carried out.  The goal of our team is to not only provide you with the most up-to-date legal advice and help administer your trusts to meet long-term goals, but to also become a trusted advisor and resource for you and your families.
