Belcher, Starr & Fitzgerald LLP: Estate Planning & Administration

ESTATE PLANNING & ADMINISTRATION

Our Estate Planning & Administration practice involves all aspects of wills and trusts; estate, gift and income tax planning; as well as asset protection, estate settlement and trust administration. Our clients include individuals, families, entrepreneurs and fiduciaries.

We advise our clients on structuring plans which provide for the lifetime and postmortem transfer and management of assets. This planning process typically involves an analysis of the income tax, gift tax, and estate tax consequences of various transfers. Planning is especially important when a closely-held business or family real estate holdings are involved, so that liquidation is not required to pay the estate tax. Minor children and the possibility of long-term care needs are also critical to consider. We design creative, effective plans and draft the appropriate documentation to implement them. In addition, we serve as executors and trustees for our clients, providing a professional counterpart to a family member in the role of fiduciary.
