Trusted Estate Planning for Every Stage of Life
Protecting What Matters Most

Planning for the future is about protecting your assets and loved ones, but it can be challenging to get started. That’s where our firm can assist. When you meet with us, you will work directly with a seasoned estate planning attorney who will listen to your concerns and advise you of all your options.

Suppose you must protect your new family or have more complex assets to consider. Our experienced estate planning attorney can help you put in place foundational documents such as:

Wills

A will is a cornerstone estate planning document that determines how your assets will be managed and distributed after you pass away. A will allows you to appoint an executor to administer your estate and name a guardian for your minor children if you and the other parent succumb to injury or illness. Notably, a will must go through a court-supervised process known as probate, which can be complicated and costly depending on the estate’s value.

Trusts

A common misconception is that trusts are only for the wealthy. However, these estate planning tools can help achieve various objectives, such as providing for a loved one with special needs, planning for incapacity, planning for long-term care, and protecting assets. Our trusts and estates attorney will tailor a trust-based plan to your unique needs and goals.

To round out your estate plan, we will also draw up the following documents:

  • Powers of attorney designate a trusted individual to make important financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
  • Healthcare Directives specify your healthcare preferences to guide your loved ones and medical professionals in making critical decisions during difficult times.

By crafting a personalized plan, we help you protect your assets, ensure your well-being, minimize taxes, and provide for your loved ones.

Advanced Estate Planning
Preserving Your Legacy for Future Generations

Because the annual exemption amounts for estate, gift, and generation-skipping taxes expire at the end of 2025 (unless Congress acts to make provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act permanent), the estates of certain high-net-worth individuals may be subject to federal estate taxes. That’s where advanced estate planning comes in.

Trust The Law Offices of Clifford M. Cohen to provide trustworthy advice and guidance on a wide range of wealth-preservation strategies, such as:

  • Tax-Free Annual Gifting
  • Charitable Trusts
  • Qualified Personal Residence Trusts
  • Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts
  • Dynasty Trusts (also generation-skipping trusts or GSTs)
  • Family Limited Partnerships

With our advanced estate planning services, you can preserve your legacy with foresight and confidence.
