Nashville’s Custom Tailored Estate Plans

A Nashville based attorney offering expert legal advice.

Estate Planning

Estate and tax related planning should be carefully customized, regardless of the size of the client’s estate. This will guarantee the distribution of assets (according to the client’s wishes) and avoid unnecessary tax liability and excessive administrative expenses. This begins with listening – each client’s needs are unique, requiring a tailored plan to preserve assets and transfer resources for future generations with minimal tax exposure.

Just as each client’s needs are unique, a tailored plan can be put into place to preserve your assets, transfer resources to the client’s family into future generations and minimize tax exposure.

We advise clients on matters involving personal succession planning, the succession of closely-held businesses, the establishment of trust instruments for the needs of disabled or minor beneficiaries, trust instruments for the most tax effective transfers of qualified retirement plan assets, estate plans tailored for second marriages and the establishment of gifts to children, grandchildren and charities.

We assist our clients in the administration of their estate and trust by providing assistance and legal representation in several matters.
