Services That We Offer

Probate Law:

Probate is a court-supervised process by which the property of a decedent is retitled in the name of the beneficiaries, after all creditors are paid. The person in charge of this process is known as the personal representative (some states refer to this person as an executor). Probate usually begins when the decedent’s will is admitted to the probate court, and it ends when all required taxes are paid, all creditors’ claims are settled, and all assets are accounted for and distributed in accordance with the will. Every estate is unique, we can guide the personal representative through the various steps and duties required.

Probate Law

Trust Administration

Trust Administration:

Trusts can be created for a variety of purposes, including bypassing a court supervised probate, which keeps your family’s assets private, leaving assets to a charitable cause, or providing for special needs children during their lifetimes. A trust can also be used for tax planning, and for asset protection, if it is formed for the proper purpose and all specific requirements are met. While representing individuals, businesses, charities, or families, our trust and estate planning services carefully plan and administer trusts to serve the grantors and beneficiaries.

Business Law and Succession Planning:

To ensure that your business and family assets transfer smoothly to the people you choose, we can create a comprehensive plan that addresses ownership, governance, tax considerations, and different contingency scenarios. We align your business succession plans with your personal estate plans to preserve your legacy and to provide financial continuity to your loved ones.

Business Formation Services

Business Formation Services:

Although forming a business is not a complicated task, and a proper business structure can protect personal assets from financial threats arising from business activities (i.e. tort claims and other lawsuits against the business), many business owners don’t consider that their business structure doesn’t protect their business itself from these financial threats. In order to make a business a more difficult target for prospective lawsuit, we implement business formation structures that can implement such strategies as separating valuable assets such as equipment, machinery, and intellectual property into separate holding companies, which in turn can license or lease the rights of these assets back to the business. In addition, capital requirements of a business can be funded with loans and equity stripping in the form of a secured transaction, which can protect the rights of your holding company to be repaid before a legal creditor is entitled to be paid. Assets in holding companies can be held by a limited liability company or corporation as appropriate, and in addition, many such business entities themselves can be held in the name of a trust, which can be further implemented as a part of your long-term estate planning goals. Every situation is unique, we can develop a long-term plan that begins with proper business formation structure, asset protection, and ensuring that your family business itself will follow your estate planning wishes.

Asset Protection:

To ensure your assets are safeguarded from potential risks, such as sudden medical costs, creditors, or lawsuits, we craft protective strategies that fit with your family and business structure that meet with your needs and goals. Such strategies may include the use of pension plans, 401K retirement plans, strategic giving, spend-down of assets, life insurance trusts, and section 529 college savings plans to fund the eduction for your children and other loved ones.
