Estate Planning and Administration
You’ve worked hard to build a life and an estate to support your family. To preserve your legacy, you need assurances that your assets are protected, even as federal, state, and local laws change. Dykema is here to give you that reassurance, offering responsive problem-solving and out-of-the-box thinking to keep your family secure for generations to come.
Our lawyers do not adopt “faddish” planning just because others are doing it. Rather, we are extremely sophisticated in employing the latest techniques to reduce our clients’ tax burden while at the same time achieving their goals.
We have an organic philosophy in that we take advantage of our clients’ lifestyles and the facts they present (businesses, portfolios, etc.) and rearrange them so that our estate and tax planning strategies don’t disrupt their lives.
We prepare wills, revocable living trusts, and powers of attorney for financial and medical treatment decisions. We structure irrevocable and special-needs trusts, such as generation-skipping trusts, insurance trusts and charitable trusts and prepare family-limited partnerships and limited liability companies.
Our lawyers represent fiduciaries in the administration of estates and trusts and prepare individual and fiduciary income tax returns. When necessary, we represent clients in litigation, audits and tax court proceedings.
