Areas of Practice


Estate Planning

 

Our firm handles a variety of estate planning matters, including planning for the distribution of an individual’s property at his or her death and taking into account wills, taxes, insurance, property, and trusts so as to gain the maximum benefit of all laws, while at the same time carrying out the person’s wishes.


Real Estate

Business Organizations

 

The form of a business affects every aspect of its operation. Our firm assists clients in formation and business planning in deciding whether they want to operate as a sole proprietorship, closely held business, limited liability company, partnership, or corporation. We advises clients about directors’ and officers’ liability, dissolution, franchising, reorganization, trade association membership and activity, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, business successions, and shareholder’s rights.


Probate

 

Probate is the legal process by which a person’s debts are paid and assets are distributed upon his or her death. Individual state laws direct the probate court on how to distribute the deceased’s estate. State laws and procedures vary greatly, so it is important to consult a firm such as our’s with expertise in this area.
