Through comprehensive
and careful planning, our attorneys
guide clients in assuring the orderly management of their assets in the event of
illness or incapacity as well as disposition of their wealth at death. At
Wiesner Associates, estate planning is the process of identifying our clients'
objectives and concerns and designing the framework to accomplish these goals.
While we will guide our clients in designing an estate plan that can produce
substantial estate, gift and generation-skipping tax savings, we are sensitive
to ensure that the primary focus of the estate plan is the security and well
being of the family.
Through training,
experience and continuing legal education, our firm's attorneys are able to
provide a full stratum of effective and innovative strategies and techniques to
meet our client's needs. As in all aspects of our practice a Wiesner Associates,
our focus is not simply on the documents that are used but the processes
considered and the overall objectives accomplished. Among the estate planning
services we offer are:
-
Wills
-
Living Trusts
-

-
Charitable and planned gift
counseling, including Charitable Remainder Trusts
-

Estate Administration is
also among the principal focuses of our practice at Wiesner Associates. The
process of providing for the orderly disposition of clients' assets after their
death can affect living trusts as well as the traditional probate of an estate.
We work with the Personal Representatives and Trustees to ensure that the legal
requirements for notification to creditors, payment of taxes and other legal
responsibilities are carried out efficiently and expeditiously. Above all, this
is a time of transition not only of property but of persons, and we bring to the
process a compassion and understanding of the personal dynamics as well.
