Estate Planning

Our estate planning practice represents families throughout varying stages of life –

  • Traditional two parent families or single parents wishing to provide for and protect their children and themselves,
  • Unmarried couples who are either solidifying their relationship through proper planning or dissolving their relationship with the assistance of caring counsel,
  • Blended families negotiating the challenges of creating new relationships with varying expectations,
  • High net worth families seeking strategies for minimizing estate and income taxes,
  • Family business owners seeking ways to protect and expand their companies and considering how and when to transition to the next generation of ownership, and
  • Families and individuals raising whole people.

    By combining your family’s legal, financial, tax, charitable and business matters into a comprehensive plan, Ascend Law can:

  • Reduce or eliminate the costs and delay of probate
  • Assure the continuance of your lifestyle and the protection of your assets
  • Ensure that your children will be fully protected if anything were to happen to you
  • Enable you to pass your memories, values and ethics to your loved ones
  • Substantially reduce or eliminate gift, estate, income and generation-skipping taxes
