TRUST & ESTATES
ESTATE PLANNING
The law firm handles all aspects of estate planning. We provide skilled services in the preparation of wills, trust agreements, both revocable and irrevocable, and all other commonly used estate planning vehicles.
The law firm handles the complete administration of both simple and complex estates, including probate and accounting proceedings, federal and state estate tax returns and accounting proceedings, from the date of death up until the executor or administrator is finally discharged and closing letters/final orders are received from the applicable courts and/or tax agencies.
The law firm is able to handle a wide range of matters, including will contests, trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty claims, petitions to remove trustees, contested accountings, guardianship proceedings, and discovery proceedings related to the litigations described above.
In order to achieve optimal results for the client, estate litigation often requires the implementation of general litigation. The experience of our office in real estate and commercial litigation, when fortified by the general litigation resources of the law firm, enables us to handle the most complex estate litigation matters.
