Saratoga Springs Estate Planning Lawyers

Using Trusts (including Asset Protection Trusts), LLCs, and other legal tools I help people protect their assets from lawsuits, eliminate estate and capital gains taxes, avoid probate, and prevent family feuds that often arise when planning documents are not clear, concise, and thorough. Then, I help them identify the legacy they want to leave to their family and their community. My practice focuses exclusively on the following four areas: estate planning, asset-protection planning, business-succession planning, and elder law.
