Estate Planning and Administration
"Whether
working with individuals or providing a service to corporate
management, attorneys at Pender & Coward furnish comprehensive estate
planning and tax advice."
The administration of estates and trusts continues to be an important part of our practice. Whether it involves the drafting of a simple will or the administration of a complex estate or litigating the construction of the language of a will, Pender and Coward's experienced lawyers provide the highest quality of service.
In the area of estate and trust administration, our attorneys frequently aid those who have been named to administer a loved one's estate as well as serving themselves in a fiduciary capacity for estates and trusts. This includes the preparation of all necessary tax returns and administrative filings. We also offer assistance with family businesses and benefit plans of corporate owners and executives with pension and profit sharing issues.
In addition to the drafting of wills and trusts, Pender & Coward attorneys can prepare powers of attorney, advance medical directives and charitable trusts. One of our lawyers has been honored for his involvement in estate planning for families with disabled members.
Our attorneys work closely with our tax section to minimize tax implications associated with estate planning. We consult with accountants, financial planners, investment managers, trust department officers and insurance advisors to meet each client's specific objectives.
