Estate
Planning and Administration
We provide specialized estate planning, tax and personal financial
planning services, and handle the administration of estates and
trusts. The estate planning practice focuses on tax reduction strategies
in preparing wills and trusts, elder law concerns, as well as personal
issues confronting clients in structuring their estate plans. We
have substantial experience in organizing and advising public charities
and private foundations, and in creating complex trusts as part
of charitable giving programs. We have also had considerable experience
in creating family limited partnerships and limited liability companies
as part of an overall estate plan for transmission of wealth, ownership
and control of family owned businesses. Our well-known trusts and
estates group makes extensive use of specialized paralegals and
state-of-the-art computer programs in the estate planning and administration
areas in order to provide services economically.
This department is also capable of handling all aspects of estate
and trust litigation, from simple will contests to complex contested
accounting proceedings. Some of our attorneys are also certified
public accountants and some have advanced tax degrees. With several
attorneys admitted in the State of Florida, we are also capable
of handling estate and trust planning and administration matters
in that state as well as in most states neighboring New York. We
work closely with the Litigation, Business, Tax, Corporate and Environmental
Departments where necessary to ensure that all aspects of a client's
situation are properly addressed.
