Estate and Trust Planning

"There is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor, and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced extractions, not voluntary contributions."

Judge Learned Hand

Richardson and Tyler, LLP is privileged to help individuals and families ensure that loved ones are provided for in the event of illness, incapacity or death. We proudly counsel individuals and families to plan their affairs so that spouses and children are protected, loved ones are aided and charities benefit from your assets. Our firm also aids its clients in critical moments such as the death or incapacity of a loved one. We can clarify the labyrinth of probate, trust and estate tax concerns.

We counsel our clients regarding, among other matters, the following representative planning tools:

• Marital trust planning;
• Charitable and planned giving arrangements such as charitable remainder trusts;
• Generation-skipping taxation;
• Special needs trusts;
• Life insurance trust planning;
• General estate and gift tax concerns;
• Wills, powers of attorney and health care proxies; and
• Guardianships.
