Estate Planning

Mike Pianowski has built a solid reputation of expertise in estate planning. Employing a multi-disciplinary approach, our attorneys work hard to help clients realize their objectives of wealth transfer in the most efficient manner which will minimize taxes and preserve assets. Throughout the firm's existence, we have focused on assisting individuals to make the appropriate choices necessary to meet the financial and security needs of their families.

We have access to the necessary resources to supply the latest and most sophisticated estate planning techniques, including marital deduction and other tailored trusts, gifting plans, and life insurance to provide for the payment of taxes.

Our principal objective is to provide our clients with the peace of mind resulting from the knowledge that all reasonably foreseeable contingencies have been anticipated and provided for. With that in mind, we thoroughly review with clients the advantages and appropriate uses of durable powers of attorney and living trusts. We also regularly review and draft buy-sell and redemption agreements to insure that the client's wishes for business succession and continuation will be fully realized.

The firm has developed an expertise in social security and Medicare planning, with the objective of maximizing our clients' rights to the benefits they have earned without jeopardizing their family assets. We have helped many families secure the care they need for their loved ones while continuing to maintain their lifestyles and ability to plan for their own futures.
