Trusts, Estates, Wills & Probate
We offer our clients a full spectrum of estate and wealth planning services.
Our Trusts, Estates, Wills and Probate Practice Group develops trust and
estate plans that reflect the individualized goals and objectives of our
clients. Each client's plan reflects personal goals and objectives
while minimizing taxes and administrative costs.
Our estate planning practice differs from other firms because, in addition
to our estates and trusts expertise, we have the litigation and business
resources to compliment our estate planning and administration work. Additionally,
one of our experts in this area is also a Certified Public Accountant
with extensive finance experience. We customize and tailor our plans to
our clients needs and allow our clients to be the decision makers instead
of dictating terms and using the same plan for every client.
Our attorneys are always current on new legal developments and trends thereby
ensuring that our clients receive the best available planning options
in light of current law. The tax and estate planning attorneys of Richa
Law Group are highly skilled at navigating the complexities of estate
administration, either through probate or during trust administration.
We have assisted families of all sizes in the administration of estates
of all sizes, and routinely advise clients on the administration of estates
in many different jurisdictions. Our clients include executors, trustees,
accountants, heirs, professional fiduciaries and beneficiaries who are
involved in every aspect of probate and trust administration, including
post death tax planning.
