Our attorneys offer expert counsel to benefit high net-worth individuals as well as clients with special needs, addressing estate and gift tax, generation skipping transfer tax, and income tax issues.

The Firm’s specific areas of practice include estate and gift tax planning, postmortem tax planning, inter vivos and testamentary trusts, life insurance and charitable planning, generation-skipping planning, and probate and administration of wills, trusts, and estates. We also have many years of experience in creating Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs), Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs), Sales to Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts (IDGTs), and Qualified Personal Residence Trusts (QPRTs).
