Trust & Estates
Planning your estate for the future is an immensely personal task. That’s why the attorneys at AEGIS work to build trust with clients, understand their estate planning goals and draft clear agreements to protect assets, family, property and health interests. Our clients represent nearly every stage of life. Whether you need assistance with probate and trust administration, estate planning, business succession planning, multi-generational wealth planning or creating a charitable foundation, the experienced attorneys at AEGIS can help.
Our approach involves focusing on your lifetime and multi-generational needs to develop a goal-oriented plan encompassing both traditional estate planning and income-shifting approaches. While some estates have only a few assets, others require real property transfers, preparing complex tax returns or management of operating businesses. The knowledgeable team of AEGIS attorneys tailors a plan to you and your stage of life, effectuating plans to minimize transfer and income taxes.
Not ready to give up control of your business, but want to begin to transfer ownership? Our attorneys regularly advise clients on recapitalizing a closely business with nonvoting common stock, buy/sell agreements and creating a family partnership or limited liability company. Whatever your needs, the AEGIS trusts and estates team will work closely with you to consider your business, tax and personal needs and develop a plan for transfer of management, a transfer of ownership and an estate plan for you and your family.
