Lawyers in the Trusts, Estates and Not-for-Profits practice group regularly assist families in the administration of decedents’ estates. We advise surviving family members on the structure and effects of the estate plan, identify opportunities for post-death tax planning and assist in transferring assets to the intended beneficiaries and preparing estate tax returns and fiduciary income tax returns. We also have extensive experience in resolving valuation and other estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service, both at the audit level and in litigation. In addition, we have significant experience advising
individual and corporate fiduciaries and in
trust and estate litigation matters.
