Our trusts and estates department advises individual and corporate clients on estate and gift tax planning, wealth transfers, valuation issues, administration of trusts and estates, family business planning, charitable giving (including the organization and administration of charitable foundations), estate accountings, planning for retirement and disability and all aspects of premarital and disability and all aspects of premarital and marital agreements, as well as divorce and separation. In addition, the firm has substantial experience in Surrogate's Court litigation and represents clients before the Internal Revenue Service and the United States Tax Court. Our trusts and estates practice benefits greatly from our ability, through our government practice, to monitor those changes in Federal and state tax laws that affect our clients' abilities to maximize the benefits of gift, estate and inter generational transfer tax planning.
