Estate planning

TThe material found on this site is for general information only. Concepts included on this site dealing with federal estate tax issues may not be the most acceptable or best option for your situation. You should consult your attorney for advice on your particular situation.

Estate Planning involves developing a "plan" that will accomplish the goals and objectives of an estate owner while living and at death.

These goals and objectives could include:

• Providing cash payment  for estate expenses including federal estate tax.
• Providing income to family members after the estate owner's death.
• Providing for the disposition of a business at death.
• Distributing assets to family members and other heirs in a tax efficient manner.

It is an ongoing process that involves the creation, conservation, and distribution of property. The "plan" could be as simple as having a will and life insurance, or could require the use of  trusts, business continuation plans, or charitable arrangements among other concepts/products.

The purpose of this service is to collect information regarding your assets and liabilities in order to determine estate tax liability and if there is sufficient liquidity to pay estate taxes. The Estate Tax Presentation reflects the recent changes in estate tax law and also illustrates the effect of future growth and inflation on your estate.
