From Estate
Planning and Administration to Wills and Trusts
Estate planning and administration requires attorneys experienced
in guiding clients through complex, and many times, emotional
planning, procedures or disputes. Our estate attorneys support
clients with a wide variety of expert services in the planning
and administration of trusts and estates. We avoid the “one
size fits all” approach to planning. When a pre-marital
agreement is indicated, our family law attorneys work with
our estate planning attorneys to negotiate and draft appropriate
agreements.
We advise clients on income (state and federal) and estate
and gift taxes. In addition, we assist in planning for closely
held businesses, partnerships, real estate, life insurance,
charitable trusts, public charities, private foundations,
and marital and charitable deductions. These plans are incorporated
into wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, pre-marital
agreements, health care directives, and retirement benefits.
We prepare federal estate tax returns, gift tax returns and
federal and state fiduciary income tax returns as well as
returns for private foundations.
Whether representing banks, trust companies, not-for-profits,
or individuals, our goal is to provide thorough, understandable
guidance and administration, and, if necessary, litigation.
We represent fiduciaries in suits for aid and direction and
other court proceedings. As a mid-size regional firm, our
clients have an advantage with Clarke, Dolph, Rapaport, Hull,
Brunick & Garriott, as our business, real estate, family
law, and tax attorneys work collaboratively to craft responsible
and practical solutions to estate planning and trust and estate
administration challenges.
