Estate planning requires individual care and attention. We provide that to you. We assist you in clarifying and carrying out your estate planning goals. We are experienced in working with people as they go through the changes that many of us face at different times – whether those changes involve family matters, medical issues, or issues related to changing, complex, or co-owned assets.

We also assist and represent Executors and Trustees through the process of Probate or Trust administration.  We prepare estate and gift tax returns.  We represent Trusts and Estates before the IRS and when necessary, we litigate estate tax issues before the U.S. Tax Courts and District Courts.  We handle claims and litigated matters.
