Probate
We know that the loss of a loved-one can be traumatic and overwhelming. We can handle the affairs
that arise when someone passes away. Probate includes establishing or contesting the validity of a Will, as well as
handling estates when there is no Will. Probate also includes dealing with creditors, making appropriate choices
in distributing assets, and finding the best tax-advantaged solutions for clients.
Mediation
We provide expert mediation services. Financial matters too often destroy relationships,
both in families and inbusinesses. Mediation is a process where everyone collaborates to find a solution acceptable
to all. We facilitate that process emphasizing courtesy and dignity among the participants.
