Traditional estate planning attempts to grow and preserve a client's wealth while effecting the most tax efficient transfer of assets to family members and other significant individuals, as well as charitable organizations. Today, as in the past, estate planning plays a critical role, both during and after one's life. Individuals must consider use of wills, trusts, powers of attorneys, living wills and organ donation forms, as well as other vehicles, such as family limited partnerships and private foundations. Our lawyers understand the recent changes in the law and have counseled numerous clients in making decisions to preserve and increase their wealth during their lifetime, to ensure their healthcare decisions are respected, and to transfer their wealth to future generations.
