Estate Planning
You've worked hard to get where you are. You want to make sure that what you've built up is passed on to your family, to make effective succession plans for your business, to ensure that your children are taken care of when you're not around to do it yourself. You've got plans for what you want to do with what you've built, and you need knowledgeable, real-world advice to make those plans come true.
At Haskell Slaughter, we offer the help you need, whether you're a small business owner planning for the next generation, a corporate executive trying to provide for your family's future needs, or a high-net-worth individual who wants to make charitable gifts in a tax-effective way. We work with your accountants and financial professionals to build the plan that's right for you (and we can help you find the professionals you need as well). Some of the areas where our estate planning team can provide what you need are set forth below:
* Estate Tax Planning
* Business Succession
* Wills and Trusts
* Durable Powers of Attorney
* Funding for Educational Needs
* Generation-Skipping Transfers
* Family Partnerships
