Ivins, Phillips & Barker's attorneys work with our clients to identify goals and tailor estate plans designed to preserve assets and provide income for ensuing generations, reduce unnecessary tax exposure, and fund philanthropic causes.
IPB has had considerable experience in addressing a broad range of domestic and international issues and in developing comprehensive individual and family estate plans that take into consideration the unique relationships and goals of each client. This experience transcends tax issues and can only be gained through decades of practice.
Our estate planning attorneys represent a variety of high net worth individuals and multi-generational families, from those with significant inherited wealth invested in diversified assets to those with major equity holdings in closely held businesses created by them or their families. Many of the families served by our estate planning group have been clients of the firm since its founding in 1935.
