ESTATE PLANNING
AND ADMINISTRATION
Elder Law
Elder law is a relatively new
term which is intended to encompass those areas of law which involve planning
for a client's legal well-being throughout his or her later years. The Firm's
attorneys are qualified to advise you on estate planning, drafting wills and
trusts, lifetime giving, dealing with Social Security, and Medicare in an effort
to make the client's elder years as enjoyable as possible while providing both
the client and his or her family with the best possible methods for retaining
assets and passing them on to the next generation.
Estate Planning
At Bauer, Gravel, Farnham,
Nuovo & Parker, we will work with you to develop an estate plan which will minimize any
federal or state taxes that apply to the transfer of assets to allow you to
provide to your beneficiaries the most amount of money possible. We have worked
closely with various estate planners and accounting firms to assure that your
property will be preserved for the individuals and organizations you most wish
to benefit. The attorneys at Bauer, Gravel, Farnham, Nuovo & Parker are conversant in
proper estate planning techniques and are also experienced in probate law. We
have the broad range of experience necessary to assist you in developing either
a simple will or a complex trust. We can provide advice on lifetime giving,
federal generation-skipping transfers, charitable remainder trust giving, and
many other vehicles that can be used to protect your assets.
Probate Administration
Attorneys John Gravel and
Joseph Bauer have several years of experience in the area of probate
administration. Whether you are the named executor of an estate or a beneficiary
under someone's will, the Firm can assist and guide you through the probate
process to ensure that all procedures are followed adequately and that your
rights are protected.
