Our Practice
Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of establishing a Trust, Will, Durable Power of Attorney, and other related documents during your lifetime.
Estate Administration
Our firm helps Trustees and Executors comply with the many duties associated with the administration of an Estate
Probate
Probate is the legal proceeding supervised by the Superior Court used to transfer title to assets when a person is deceased.
Estate Litigation
When the need arises to challenge, defend, or enforce a Will or Trust, our Lawyers will represent you in all legal proceedings.
Advanced Estate Planning
Families with substantial estates require additional strategies beyond a typical Estate Plan to reduce and offset Estate Tax liabilities.
