Safeguard your family's welfare with a trust

Within estate planning, we handle trusts of all kinds. Trusts are a powerful legal tool we use to help our clients. Using a trust can help avoid taxes and ensure the continuing welfare of our client's family or an organization they care about. There is a trust for every set of circumstances, and our attorneys handle them all:

  • Revocable and irrevocable trusts
  • Irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILITs)
  • Spendthrift trusts
  • Charitable remainder trusts
  • "Supplemental" or "special" needs trusts

Successfully pass your business to the next generation

Business succession planning involves two of our firm's greatest strengths: estate planning and business law. Lawyers from our estate planning and business practice groups work together in this field. We can transfer family limited partnerships and other more complex businesses.
