Estate Planning Estate Planning begins with a comprehensive review of your personal and financial goals and objectives which we use to build a unique plan for your family. By following our unique process, you are comforted in knowing that when the time comes for the distribution of your Estate, it will be accomplished swiftly and precisely with minimal or no payout of Estate Taxes, Probate Court costs, or other Administrative fees. As difficult as it is to sit down and plan for the day when you will no longer be here, it is essential and a real show of love for your family, friends and the charities you care most deeply about. Not making the decisions regarding: ? who will take care of your minor children, ? who will oversee financial affairs, and ? how your property will be distributed, will result in the court making these decisions for you. The Law Office of Jay W. Brandenburg can assist you with proper Estate Planning, which will allow you to exercise your right to distribute your property as you see fit. This proactive approach will eliminate the court?s involvement and eventual judgments regarding your financial and family affairs. Tax Planning Our counsel to our clients includes advanced planning designs and strategies that take full advantage of numerous benefits to shield you and your family from the ravages of the estate tax. We regularly work with our clients in preparing children?s trusts, life insurance, generation skipping and charitable trusts. These Trusts are specially designed to your values and beliefs about how you would like your children, grandchildren and charities to receive your money in ways that it will be preserved.
