Our firm's trusts and estates practice encompasses diverse areas of law. We draft wills and trusts that range from simple to complex, administer trusts and decedents' estates, and provide essential and sophisticated estate and gift tax planning. We also prepare revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, advance medical directives, charitable trusts, and business planning agreements and provide counsel on related estate and gift tax matters. Planning for the estates and families of the elderly, including Medicaid eligibility and guardianships, is also a substantial element of the trusts and estates practice.
