Estate, Gift, Generation-Skipping, and Fiduciary Tax Returns For Trusts & Estates

In the course of Trust and Estate Planning and Administration, our clients need estate, gift, generation-skipping, and fiduciary tax planning, the preparation and filing of these returns, and our representation before federal and state tax authorities. We prepare, in-house, all of the returns submitted by our law firm. Two of our attorneys are admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax Court.

Each year our attorneys and paralegals attend federal and state tax seminars sponsored by the IRS, the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the Council on Foundations, and the Special Needs Alliance.  The depth of our expertise and experience in tax planning, preparing and filing tax returns, and representation of our clients before federal and state tax authorities is critical to the strength of the legal services we offer to our clients.
