| ESTATE PLANNING – probate and trust administration |

An estate plan includes an analysis of the appropriate documents necessary to transfer assets as efficiently as possible and with the least possible tax consequences.
The plan may include trusts and limited partnerships. The process is not necessarily complicated, and the plan can frequently be determined during a single meeting.
At times, disputes arise among the heirs and litigation is necessary. Warren has a great deal of experience in this kind of litigation.
