Probate & Estate Administration
Probate
and estate administration are the processes through which estate assets
are transferred after death. Assets to be transferred under terms of a
will go through probate. Assets transferred outside of a will, such as
by operation of law, or those planned for in a trust are handled
through an Administration process. Administration also refers to the
process whereby assets are transferred by rules of the state when there
is no will. We can help make the process easier, more efficient, and
provide peace of mind during a difficult time.

Guardianship
Guardianship
is a court process designed to protect an individual who can no longer
protect himself or herself, and it seeks to identify the person or
persons best suited to take over the individual’s financial affairs and
personal care.

Estate and Gift Tax Planning
Historically
speaking, the federal estate tax is an excise tax levied on the
transfer of a person's assets after death. In actuality, it is neither
a death tax nor an inheritance tax, but more accurately a transfer tax.
There are three distinct aspects to federal estate taxes that comprise
what is called the Unified Transfer Tax: Estate Taxes, Gift Taxes, and
Generation- Skipping Transfer Taxes. Legal planning to avoid or
minimize federal estate taxes is both a prudent and an important aspect
of comprehensive estate planning.

Real Estate Law
The
most important part of buying or selling real estate, whether
residential or commercial, is the contract. The contract is the “bible”
that governs the entire transaction and establishes each party‘s rights
and responsibilities.
