At Labaton Sucharow, our estate planning clients are more than names on files—they are people in a practice that is deeply personal. We understand that planning for one’s future—or dealing with the loss of a loved one—can be extraordinarily difficult.
Our lawyers strive to make personal connections with each client as we walk them through the drafting of estate planning documents, including:
- Wills, living wills, health care proxies, and powers of attorney
- Trusts, including revocable and irrevocable trusts, insurance trusts and charitable trusts, as well as shareholder and family partnership agreements
- Prenuptial, domestic partnership, and separation agreements
In addition, we have developed an expert practice in the area of estate administration and regularly work on matters involving large and complicated estates. Firm lawyers can assist with estate and gift tax audits, and have established professional relationships with government auditors.
We aim to bring our clients peace of mind and solutions for the future.
We have addressed difficult issues such as keeping a business and property intact so that it may be passed on to children or other heirs; the management of financial and family affairs upon retirement or disability; and making decisions concerning life-sustaining treatment in terminal health situations.
Trust and estate planning can be a complex affair, requiring support from other areas of law. Our Firm includes those knowledgeable in areas such as tax and family businesses.
We aim to bring our clients peace of mind and solutions for the future.
