Wills, Trusts & Estates
Vellines, Cobbs, Goodwin & Glass, P.L.C., represents individuals in estate planning and administration. Recognizing that no Will is "simple", our attorneys engage in a detailed analysis of each client's family situation and assets in order to recommend an estate plan for that client. The goal of our estate planning is two-fold: (i) accomplish personal and family goals, for example, ensuring financial security for a client's loved ones, and (ii) minimize or eliminate transfer taxes. Our lawyers use a variety of estate planning techniques to accomplish the client's objectives, including wills, lifetime and testamentary trusts, revocable and irrevocable trusts, marital trusts, powers of attorney, etc.
