We understand the importance of passing along wealth to the next generation. Our charge is to help you do so in the most tax efficient way that still meets with your lifetime gifting goals.
Our attorneys are proficient in the most sophisticated gifting strategies recognized by law, including minors’ trusts, insurance trusts, grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs), qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs), sales to lifetime gift trusts and the creation of business entities that allow for wealth management and control for multiple generations. We analyze each situation independently, make recommendations that suit your goals, and work towards full implementation of the chosen gifting strategy. Many of our attorneys are nationally known frequent lecturers and authors on these various strategies—we bring a wealth of knowledge in this area to all client relationships.
