Estate Planning

Estate Planning

The attorneys of Glenn Feldmann Darby & Goodlatte are well versed in the rewards and pitfalls of estate and tax planning. Our attorneys who focus on estate planning analyze individual financial circumstances, identify alternatives and recommend the estate plan that best fits your needs.

They are then able, as appropriate, to:

• Consult with investment advisors, stockbrokers, or life insurance agents as needed
• Prepare a comprehensive set of wills, including pour-over wills and generation-skipping wills
• Minimize or eliminate gift, estate, and generation-skipping taxes while ensuring that individual non-tax objectives are not compromised
• Generate advanced medical directives, or living wills
• Set up trusts, including insurance or special needs trusts
• Create general and limited powers of attorney
• Use family limited partnerships and limited liability companies that transfer wealth in a tax-advantaged manner
• Arrange charitable giving that assures financial security for the client at the same time
• Combine any or all of the above based on the individual situation
