Wealth Transfer


Estate & Trust Tax Preparation

Effective estate and gift planning facilitates the orderly transfer of assets to your beneficiaries, provides security for your surviving spouse, and can reduce or eliminate the tax due on the transfer of your business and other assets. For business owners, providing for business continuity and succession of ownership is essential. We can guide you through the complex process of getting your financial affairs in order.



Succession Planning

Passing a business from one generation to the next can pass on family tradition, wealth and legacy. But succession planning involves more than just the transfer of business stocks or assets. Planning for the continued success of the business ensures that what you have built will continue to provide for the people and causes you care about most.

Simply because several family members are part of a management team does not ensure the business can survive transfer to the next generation. Planning for succession in the event of retirement or sudden loss of leadership ensures the stability and financial resources to survive.
