Tax Planning

Business Matters

If you are selling a business, we will be pleased to advise you regarding:

  • The most effective manner in which to conduct the transaction
  • How to handle dry income
  • The practicality of an installment sale
  • Creditor protection planning
  • Protecting your spouse's assets and children's college funds
  • The safety of your medical insurance and retirement plans

If you are purchasing a business, you face different issues. We can help you:

  • Determine which assets to contribute to the business
  • Understand intellectual property licenses
  • Receive creditor protection so debts will not destroy your valuable assets

If you are merging two businesses, we can advise you on the most effective means to accomplish your goals, advise on ERISA, qualified retirement plants, and employee benefit plans. To ensure you are properly protected in any business venture, contact our office.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is a vital part of tax planning. As your legal team, we can help preserve your assets by:

  • Developing an estate plan for your specific situation
  • Considering the possibility of a Family Limited Partnership (FLP)


Our goal is to help you preserve your assets by reducing your estate tax liability. Whether you are planning to grow your child's education fund, pay for an older relative to be in a nursing home, or fund your own retirement, we will work to put together a creative plan that meets your needs.

Charitable Giving

For those persons and families desiring to leverage their charitable giving with financial and/or tax advantages, several types of arrangements can be beneficial depending upon the donor's goals, including but not limited to:

  • Pledge paid over time using installments to stay under the applicable adjusted gross income limitations for deductible contributions.
  • Gifts of appreciated securities and other assets at fair market value and avoid the capital gains tax on disposition.
  • Charitable Lead Trust ("CLT") where the charity leads, i.e. gets money first, with the donor and/or other designated beneficiaries receiving a remainder.
  • Charitable Remainder Trust ("CRT") where the charity gets the remaining balance after specified payments to the donor and/or other designated beneficiaries.
  • Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust ("CRAT") which is a CRT with an annuity as the specified payments to the grantor and/or other designated beneficiaries.
  • Charitable Remainder Unitrust which is a CRT with payments equal to a fixed percentage of its assets as the specified payments to the grantor and/or other designated beneficiaries.
  • Private annuities with a current charitable component.
  • Private Foundations, with or without a corresponding Family Office.
  • Private Life Insurance Company, with or without a charitable component.
