Estate planning is the process by which one arranges for the distribution of assets to facilitate its orderly transfer upon death to one’s intended beneficiary. Such a plan achieves the strategic implementation of one’s goals and objectives for the transferred assets to achieve maximum flexibility of distribution and minimal tax liability. An estate plan utilizes various modes of wealth transfer, including wills and trusts. Without an estate plan, intestacy laws provide for the distribution of one’s assets at death. Preserve your wealth and protect your family nest egg with an estate plan designed to meet your unique needs.
Domestic relations involve every facet of family law, including marriage and divorce, separation, cohabitation, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and adoption. Taking a proactive approach to managing and preserving one’s familial status is critical to ensuring family security and protecting various benefits bestowed upon the family unit. With ever increasing international diversity, now more than ever, legal representation is needed to address the unique needs of individuals with family ties and obligations to other countries.
Civil litigation involves the process of formally advocating one’s rights in a court of law and captures every area of controversy, except criminal matters. Civil litigation usually follows an unsuccessful settlement attempt, when parties finally realize the need for a formal judicial adjudication of a matter.
