Estate Planning

Libby Sparks’ attorneys advise clients on all aspects of sophisticated estate planning, including the preparation of wills, trusts, financial and healthcare power of attorneys and other planning documents (living wills, advance directives); administration of trusts and estates; and estate litigation. Our estate planning team works closely with our clients and their families to develop personalized estate plans that accomplish the important goals of protecting inheritances for heirs, minimizing estate taxes, avoiding the probate process, and ensuring that their wishes are carried out when they are gone. We have significant experience assisting high net worth individuals with complex estate planning matters involving their business and personal assets, and take great pride in the individualized attention we provide to our clients. By collaborating with your accountants and financial advisors, as well as our own Taxation practice, we are able to customize an estate plan that provides for asset management and protection, business succession, and the smooth transmission of wealth to your heirs.
