ESTATE PLANNING, TRUSTS, AND PROBATE LAW

Thompson, Dunlap & Heydinger, Ltd. provides the highest quality estate planning and probate services. Since estate planning involves much more than preparing tax efficient wills and trust agreements, our attorneys regularly provide advice to clients on a broad range of issues, including business succession planning, transfers of family businesses, gifting programs, buy-sell agreements, life insurance strategies, valuation issues and general tax planning. Our attorneys will draw on the resources of outside tax professionals when necessary to provide the best advice to our clients and reach the optimal tax and overall estate planning goals.

The probate and estate administration practice of our firm includes services such as: assisting representatives of estates; preparing federal and state estate inheritance tax returns; ancillary administration; trust administration and preparation of fiduciary income tax returns; other probate-related proceedings including will contests, trust construction, and guardianships.
