Estate and Succession Planning
Estate planning is an important element of both the income tax planning and testamentary planning process. We can review investment goals and objectives both, to increase your income and wealth from a tax planning perspective and to analyze what effect proposed changes will have on your estate and the amount of tax that will become due on death. We can suggest ways clients can reduce the tax impact on their estates, maximizing the amount available to beneficiaries. Various strategies are available to individuals to compensate for taxes that estates will face.
