Provided by Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP
The attorneys with Calfee’s Estate and Succession Planning and Administration practice group help individuals and families make some of the most important decisions of their lives. From the owner of a family business dealing with corporate succession issues to a CEO planning for retirement to a couple handling their sometimes-competing responsibilities for children and parents, Calfee assists clients in developing and implementing comprehensive estate plans that carefully balance personal goals with tax and administrative concerns.
The Calfee team also provides comprehensive probate and trust administration, litigation services, and asset protection planning counsel.
Calfee's legal representation always begins with a thorough analysis of the client's unique needs and goals. Innovative and sophisticated techniques ensure that the needs and goals are achieved in a way that makes personal and economic sense. The Calfee team designs estate plans that achieve maximum tax reduction but recognizes that it is only one of many considerations. The key is striking an appropriate balance. It is always Calfee's goal to help articulate and achieve what is most important to our clients.
