Protect your assets.
We’ve seen it all, so we can help protect against the things you didn’t foresee.
We’ll start by carefully analyzing your assets and clearly understanding your goals. Then we’ll use our decades of experience to help determine which estate planning tools will work best in your specific situation.
- Wills
- Living wills
- Generation skipping trusts
- Insurance trusts

- Family trusts
- Living trusts
- Real estate trusts
We’ll also pay close attention to tax implications such as:

- Inheritance taxes
- Generation-skipping taxes
After the loss of a loved one, you need competent counsel to guide you through the complexity of the probate and estate administration process. In addition, there may be trust agreements to interpret and carry out. We can help.
Some of the more common types of probate-related services we provide include:
- Filing petitions for the appointment of personal representatives
- Inventorying of estate assets
- Notifying creditors
- Settling the estate’s legitimate debts
- Distributing the remaining assets in accordance with the decedent’s will, or if intestate, in accordance with state law
- Preparing and filing estate and gift tax returns
Resolving Probate Disputes
- In addition to managing probate, trust administration and other estate-related matters, we also provide representation to beneficiaries, personal representatives, trustees and others with regard to probate disputes involving will contests, trust disputes, financial mismanagement, breach of fiduciary duty claims, allegations of undue influence or duress, and more.
When a person becomes mentally or physically incapable of caring for himself or herself, or of managing his or her own financial affairs, a guardian or conservator may be appointed by the court. We help family members navigate the process required to obtain a court appointment and defend individuals who have been unduly charged with being mentally or physically unable to care for themselves.
