Estate Planning
Parr Law Group provides not only estate planning but Estate and Trust administration as well.
Estate planning focuses on the efficient structuring, management and disposition of a person’s assets during the individual’s lifetime as well as after, while considering the impact of such wealth transfer on future generations. We serve a wide range of clients by creating estate plans tailored to meet each client’s objectives. In creating and managing an Estate Plan, we are concerned with the practical ramifications as well as the legality of alternate courses of action. We believe it is essential to successfully implement programs that satisfy the legal requirements of federal and state law while simultaneously achieving the client’s individual goals.
Parr Law Group has a full spectrum of trust and estate services, including:
- Basic Estate Planning: Most of our estate planning clients begin protecting their assets with basic estate planning through the use of wills, revocable living trusts and lifetime irrevocable trusts. All too often, clients are hesitant to start the Basic Estate Planning process because they assume it is a complicated and time- consuming task. We focus on keeping the process as simple and understandable as possible.
- Sophisticated Estate Planning: Parr Law Group can assist with tax-advantaged techniques for transferring family wealth to future generations, including grantor retained annuity trusts, dynasty trusts, qualified personal residence trusts, gifts to minors, special planning for generation-skipping transfers, and planning with life insurance.
