Practice Areas

Estate Planning

Estate planning involves many tools, not just a Will.  Let us help you with powers of attorney, living wills, and trusts, where appropriate.  We have many ways to help.

Probate

Probate is a court proceeding designed to assure that a decedent's assets pass to the persons entitled to them.  The process begins with the appointment of a Personal Representative and ends with the final distribution.  We can help you probate an estate.

Tax

We provide services in income tax preparation and tax planning.  Our tax page can be reached by clicking on the picture.

Business

If you are interested in forming a business, we can help you decide which business form is best for you--corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or something else--and then help with the formation. Or if you are buying or selling a business, we can advise you on tax considerations, and then help you through the process.

Real Estate

Our real estate services include review of buy-sell agreements and preliminary title commitments, preparation of contracts for deed, and closing instructions. Click on the picture to go to our real estate page.
