As several of our attorneys hold LL.M. degrees in Taxation, we can provide requisite tax planning and insure the best possible tax position for our clients, thereby assisting them in the overall retention of their wealth. Our legal staff spends a significant amount of time researching and interpreting current developments in the tax law in order to determine how it will ultimately affect our clients.
Believe it or not, a majority of closely held businesses will fail to pass from one generation to the next. The major culprit causing such failure is the estate tax. On larger estates the estate tax will consume approximately 50% of the estate, and the estate tax is due within 9 months of the date of death.

Report
I was referred to Larsen & Risley by my accountant 8 years ago. Over the years, they have assisted me with my corporate and estate planning matters. I will admit that they are not inexpensive but they are excellent at tax planning, saving me and my estate tons of money. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and I am thankful my accountant found them for me.
