A well-crafted estate plan isn’t complete without addressing taxes—and for high-net-worth individuals and families, that’s where an estate tax planning lawyer becomes essential.
At The Andrews Law Firm, P.C., we work closely with clients to reduce or eliminate estate taxes, allowing you to pass on your legacy with minimal erosion from government claims.
What Does an Estate Tax Planning Lawyer Do?
An estate tax planning lawyer focuses specifically on strategies to reduce estate taxes before they become a liability. We evaluate your assets, family structure, and goals to build a custom tax-efficient plan.
We help clients with:
– **Advanced trust creation** (e.g., GRATs, ILITs, SLATs)
– **Strategic gifting and use of exemptions**
– **Charitable giving and deductions**
– **Valuation discounts for family businesses**
– **Long-term succession and tax-deferral strategies**
Real-World Value
Without a plan, your estate may be subject to federal taxes—and in some cases, state inheritance taxes as well. For example, if your estate is valued at $20 million and the federal exemption drops, your family could owe millions in taxes.
A lawyer ensures you make the most of the current exemption while it lasts—and prepares for changes ahead.
When to Start Planning
The earlier you begin, the more tools are available. Tax planning isn’t just for retirees—business owners, investors, and professionals should plan early to take advantage of annual exclusions and other long-term tax strategies.
We work with financial planners and accountants to ensure all moving pieces—from trusts to real estate—fit into one cohesive plan.
Customized Protection for Generations
Every family is different. That’s why we tailor our approach based on your needs—whether you’re building a multi-generational legacy, preparing a charitable gift, or selling a business.
At The Andrews Law Firm, P.C., we believe estate tax planning is more than numbers—it’s about preserving relationships and ensuring your values live on.
If you’re ready to protect your wealth from excessive taxation, contact us today to speak with an experienced estate tax planning lawyer.
