Estate Planning, Probate and Estate Administration
Estate planning today includes far more than simply drafting wills and trusts and is an important consideration for people of all ages. Estate planning is not only for the wealthy, but is equally important for families with moderate estates. Important goals for families of all means are the protection of family members upon the death or disability of the primary bread-winner, the maximization of benefits available for transfer to surviving family members, and the minimization of taxes to the extent possible.At Kovitz Shifrin Nesbit, our attorneys are available to consult with you about the drafting or revision of your will or trust to enhance the protections available to your family. We will also discuss with you powers of attorney, probate avoidance, living/medical wills, planning for disability, guardianship, business-succession planning, gifting programs, generation-skipping transfers, minimizing tax consequences, premarital agreements and/or other matters that are important to your family.
In helping you to understand your estate-planning needs, the attorneys at Kovitz Shifrin Nesbit will explore with you your goals and concerns, while at the same time, supplying you with important information designed to demystify this often confusing and emotional area of the law.
