Trusts & Estates

About

Provided by Phillips Nizer LLP

Our Trusts and Estates professionals bring deep experience and close "hands on" attention to planning and administering our clients’ estates and trusts. We reduce the impact of taxation on the transfer of wealth from generation to generation and the preservation of family owned businesses, and provide family, estate and succession planning for U.S. citizens and non-citizens. Recognizing that tax reduction is often just one concern of many, our attorneys are sensitive to the needs of clients dealing with challenges arising from remarriages, the conflicting or diverging interests of beneficiaries, and the need to provide for the young, elderly and disabled.

We also represent individual and corporate executors and trustees in connection with the administration of trusts and estates, assisting fiduciaries in the performance of their duties. Those services include post-mortem income tax planning, representation in state and federal estate tax proceedings, and matters involving the disposition of assets in both in the U.S. and abroad.
