Hopp Neumann Humke has an expert team of estate planning and probate attorneys, with sophisticated experience in helping clients manage and protect their assets, provide proper tax planning and address business succession issues. Our skilled team provides services in the following areas:
ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES
It is important to have a current estate plan that addresses your various stages in life. Our team prepares wills, irrevocable trusts, revocable trusts and other planning documents such as marital property agreements (pre-nuptial and post-nuptial), financial and health care powers of attorney. Whether you are single, married, have children or no children at all, we understand how important it is to have an estate plan in place. We guide clients through the sometimes complex process of determining the best vehicle for carrying out their wishes, and ensure that all documents are in place. We also assist with tax planning to minimize payment of estate taxes.
BUSINESS SUCCESSION PLANNING
One of the main concerns facing owners of family or closely held businesses is how to effect an orderly and affordable transfer of the business to the next generation or key employee. We have the expertise to effectively address management, ownership, and tax issues and to create a succession plan that meets our client’s needs.
PROBATE AND TRUST TERMINATION SERVICES
Our lawyers have extensive experience in helping families through the probate or trust administration process in an efficient manner, knowing that it can sometimes be a difficult process. Our skilled team of attorneys and highly trained legal assistants explain the process in full to our clients, help them assemble assets and file all necessary court documents and tax returns. We carefully analyze the needs of each estate to maximize tax savings and minimize the complexity of the process.
