Taxation

Incorporating Tax Planning into Your Estate Plan

Understanding how taxation and rapidly changing tax law impact your estate and/or business plans and keeping current is essential to maximizing your potential tax savings. Although Rothman Gordon has represented clients with tax disputes at all judicial levels, including the U.S. Tax Court, we generally advocate education and planning to avoid such disputes. We stay abreast of new tax enactments so we can advise our clients on how to structure their estate or business to maximize tax savings. Whether this means restructuring your individual estate plan to take advantage of tax ramifications or re-evaluating the current structure of your business, Rothman Gordon strives to discover the best solutions for you.
