Estate Planning and Taxes

In our estate planning practice at the Sawyer Law Firm, PLLC, we focus on ways to avoid or minimize tax exposure.

First, this means we carefully analyze how the laws regarding federal estate tax, gift tax and generation-skipping transfer tax apply to your estate.

Second, we recommend solutions ranging from bypass trusts to family entity formation in order to help you maximize the value of your exemptions and minimize your exposure to taxation.

As an essential component of our estate and probate administration practice, we work closely with executors or administrators as well as valuation experts to make sure all valuation issues are carefully reviewed and considered.

We prepare and file all estate, gift and trust tax returns. The objective is to maximize the value of all permissible deductions, exemptions and credits while making sure the tax obligations are fully discharged.

Business Formation and Taxes

In our business law practice, we structure transactions and major sales or transfers of business assets with the tax consequences of the deal in mind. We also represent real estate investors in Section 1031 exchanges to shelter the taxable proceeds of the sale of investment property interests and re-invest the same in the like-kind interests.
