Estate Planning - Reducing the Burden of Estate Taxes

Taxes can claim more than one-half of everything you own. Proper planning is a necessity - it is the only way to assure that you minimize estate settlement costs and maximize the size of the estate you help preserve for your family. We provide advice on issues such as property ownership, distribution strategies and estate tax reduction techniques. We also identify and analyze potential liquidity and equalization issues. Some of the tax reduction strategies we regularly consider include multi-trust wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, grantor retained interest trusts, various gifting strategies, charitable transfers, limited liability companies and family partnerships.
