Whether you have young children or you are approaching retirement, estate planning is essential in order to ensure that your assets are protected and your loved ones are provided for in the manner you intend. In estate planning, my firm has earned a reputation for attention to detail.

I can help you leverage the appropriate estate planning techniques to save significant amounts of money in Federal and State estate taxes.

Comprehensive estate planning
I understand that preparing your last will and testament, living will and power of attorney can be an unsettling experience, but it is necessary to make the important decisions that will affect your family’s future: Who will take care of your minor children?

Estate Administration
I also assist clients through the process of estate administration and probate and paying off the debts against the estate, as well as the preparation of the required court filings and tax returns.

Questions about rights of inheritance sometimes arise during the course of probate which may result in a dispute. In an effort to avoid controversy, I offer reasoned and compassionate family consultations to help you work out your legal conflicts without resorting to estate litigation unless absolutely necessary. These areas of practice include:
