ESTATE PLANNING
The firm provides extensive services pertaining to estate planning. Although we are a small firm, our expertise is as sophisticated as firms many times our size. We specialize in solving challenging issues facing our clients in order to enable them to transfer their property to their loved ones with the least administrative involvement and tax cost.
We draft and supervise the execution of wills, living trusts, living wills, health care proxies and powers of attorney and other pertinent documents which give the fullest effect permitted under the law to our clients' wishes. We are fully prepared and qualified to litigate matters relating to trusts and estates, including the resolution of estate tax disputes on behalf of our clients.
The firm prides itself on its sensitivity in matters relating to planning our clients' estates and the administration of their estates after death, diligently attending to the many details that ensure disposition in the most expeditious and tax effective manner.
DOMESTIC RELATIONSHIP AND FAMILY LAW ISSUES
Family and matrimonial law issues are often fraught with emotional as well as legal consequences and bring to the fore the firm's strengths as a counselor as well as legal adviser. Our practice encompasses traditional areas of family law, such as prenuptial agreements, separation agreements, divorce and child custody.
Our attorneys are also expert in non-traditional and emerging areas of the law, including the drafting of agreements for unmarried and lesbian and gay couples; assistance with adoptions, and other family formation issues, and agreements governing the real life arrangements of our diverse clientele.
We deal effectively with issues and disputes relating to property rights and the disposition of jointly held property and will, when necessary, institute litigation to ensure the protection of these rights. |
