From trusts to Wills and everything in between


 

We have the expertise to assist you with all aspects of estate planning, business succession, wealth preservation, and wealth transition. Being experienced tax lawyers provides us with greater insight into the delivery of this service offering. We are familiar with and sensitive to the emotions that can underpin these matters, so we take the time to understand your needs to ensure the transfer of wealth to your family and the succession of your business is exactly as you intend.

If there is a conflict between family members, we can help determine a solution, or, if circumstances require, we can represent you in court.
