- Trusts, Estates, and Probate
Garlington, Lohn & Robinson’s Trusts and Estates Practice Group provides a variety of services for individuals and private industry, handling legal matters involving tax-sensitive estate planning, estate administration, trust administration, and charitable gift planning and providing advice for charitable organizations and related planning and litigation matters.
Our attorneys prepare wills and trusts that provide effective disposition of personal wealth during life and after death. Our trusts and estates group provides legal advice about income, estate, gift, inheritance and generation-skipping taxes. We provide legal advice regarding estate planning through inter vivos gifts, insurance planning, various "estate freezing" techniques and charitable gift planning. Our attorneys also organize and aid in the administration of closely-held entities, family limited partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations, including the implementation of buy-sell agreements and employee benefit planning.
We also represent personal representatives, or executors, in probating decedents' wills and administration of decedents’ estates and provide a broad array of legal services relating to transactions arising during estate administration. Our practice also involves estate and income tax planning for decedents' estates, surviving spouses and beneficiaries of estates.
As an adjunct to both our estate planning and estate administration work, we advise clients in areas such as marital property agreements, powers of attorney, designation of guardians and various techniques for providing health care and property management for incapacitated or elderly clients and their relatives.
We also advise trustees on proper actions when questions arise during trust administration and provide tax planning for trusts and their beneficiaries. Our attorneys are active in designing and implementing a wide variety of trusts, including generation skipping trusts, insurance trusts, and charitable trusts, and modifying and reforming such trusts to comply with changes in law and circumstances.
