Legal Services

Elder Law

We provide counsel for the unique requirements of older clients and their loved ones. We serve as advocates for the rights of seniors, and assist in navigating the federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations. 

Estate Planning

We assist individuals and families in the preparation of tasks that serve to their assets in the event of their incapacitation or death.

Estates and Trusts

We assist in planning the legal structures for transferring assets to your heirs and beneficiaries. Estates make a one-time transfer of your assets after death. Trusts allow you to create an ongoing transfer of assets both before and after death.

Guardianships

We advise you regarding the specific type of legal and welfare decisions you may make as a legal guardian. We provide guidance with all legal paperwork, as well as ensure you understand your legal rights and obligations.

Tax Planning

We help clients arrange their affairs prospectively in order to achieve the client’s business, economic, and financial goals, while minimizing taxes. 

Trust & Estate Litigation

We handle all types of trust and estate litigation, including will contests, breaches of fiduciary duty, removal of trustees, reformation of instruments, elder abuse, and other contests based on allegations of lack of capacity and undue influence.
