We are ready to assist you with designing and implementing a customized estate plan which will meet your specific goals and objectives while seeking to minimize estate, gift and inheritance taxes. We work with business owners, high-net worth families, blended families and second marriages, young couples with children, and retired individuals.

Probate Court

Our attorneys and staff have substantial experience in collecting and accounting for assets, paying bills, and resolving disputes among beneficiaries and claimants. Most cases are not complicated or controversial, but the firm has substantial probate litigation experience if necessary.
Trust Administration
The firm represents individuals and professional trustees in non-probate estate administration. Since probate is easy to avoid with minimal planning, most estates do not have to go through probate court, but still require all assets to be collected and accounted for, and all claims to be resolved. The firm also has substantial experience in challenging questionable transfers of property prior to a person’s death.
