Preventing Unintended Consequences
The basic focus of estate-planning is to guard against unintended consequences. No one can foresee everything that might happen to themselves or a loved one in a lifetime. However, we can prepare for events that may come our way and guard against the unintended consequences.
For example, nobody would want to exhaust the wealth they built up over a lifetime to pay nursing home expenses. Yet that is the type of untended consequence that can happen if you don't engage in elder law and medicaid planning. Examples of events our attorneys can help you plan for include divorce, remarriage, the transfer of a business to the next generation of ownership, incapacity, the admission of a loved one into a nursing home, death and taxes.
Our tax attorneys are ready and able to guide our clients through the intricacies of the tax code so that they net the highest possible after tax return on their business and personal decisions. Our expertise extends to all areas of the tax code, with an emphasis on corporate and partnership tax, gift, estate and generation skipping tax, and taxation of employee benefits and retirement plans.
