Probate Matters
Probate is a legal process that takes place after someone dies. The process includes proving in court that a deceased person's will is valid, identifying and inventorying the deceased person's property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property as the will directs.
Business Planning
You may be ready to start a new business. Or, you may have been working hard and now looking up from the grind, find your business quite successful. Whatever your stage of business, we will listen to your objectives and present supportive options, including protections against uninsured liabilities, organizational structures, and succession ideas.
Estate Planning
Estate planning anticipates and arranges in writing, the management and distribution of what you own. The use of trusts, powers of attorney, a valid Will and Last Testament, and other tools require thoughtful analysis prior to implementation. We emphasize personal time with you to gage your goals while giving attention to gift and estate taxes.
Litigation
Business and estate litigation requires attention to multiple factors. The financial cost/benefit must be intertwined with the personal cost/benefit. We understand both and will not lose sight of either as we aggressively advocate your interests in court.
