Wills, Trusts and Estates

We offer a full spectrum of services in estate planning, administration and litigation, meticulously tailored to the diverse needs of our clients.

Protecting Assets for Future Generations

In estate planning, we offer a range of services from creating basic wills and trusts to formulating and implementing elaborate estate plans.  We work across our practice areas to develop sophisticated estate plans to protect our clients when transferring assets to their beneficiaries, including the smooth and efficient transfer of family-held businesses. Our estate planning attorneys are adept at crafting sophisticated plans for high-net-worth individuals, including the creation of grantor-retained annuity trusts, dynasty trusts, charitable trusts and family foundations.

Resolving Estate Disputes with Precision and Care

We handle a full range of probate and administration services. We are sensitive to the family issues that may arise during the management and distribution of an estate and have in-depth knowledge of the practices and procedures followed by the Surrogate’s Courts in the New York metropolitan area.

In the event disputes arise and litigation is inevitable, we are prepared to handle all disputes and challenges that may arise, including will contests, kinship disputes, guardianship issues and contested accountings.
