Success in asset accumulation brings with it the problem of transferring assets to loved ones without significant loss due to estate and gift taxes and probate costs.

 
         
 

Proper planning can minimize loss of assets to taxes, provide for proper supervision of assets and facilitate an orderly transfer of assets to family members.

 
         
 

Strategies using current asset transfers at death can satisfy the goals of protecting family members and providing for charitable intentions while reducing probate costs and federal taxes.
These strategies can include the areas of:

 
         
  Wills    
         
  Revocable Trusts provide for disposition of assets with reduced probate costs    
         
  Irrevocable Trusts to provide benefits to individuals while minimizing estate and gift taxes    
         
  Charitable Trusts to provide benefits to individuals while minimizing estate and gift taxes    
         
  Gifts to family members to reduce the value of the estate subject to taxation
