For over a century, the attorneys at Strassburger McKenna Gutnick & Gefsky have counseled individuals on how best to protect their families and their futures. With candor tempered with compassion, we provide guidance on a full range of personal services, including:
- Simple and complex wills
- Revocable (living) and irrevocable trusts
- Trusts for minors
- Long-term nursing care planning
- Estate and trust planning for business owners
- Special needs planning and trusts
- Irrevocable life insurance trusts
- Estate and trust administration
- Financial powers of attorney
- Healthcare powers of attorney/Living wills
- Tax planning
- Charitable giving
- Asset protection
- Guardianships
- Beneficiary disputes
In addition to the initial planning, any major life event such as marriage, remarriage, divorce, birth, and death requires estate plans to be monitored and, in many instances, to be updated.
SMGG’s cross-disciplinary approach ensures that our estate planning clients also have access to the experience of our real estate, business, creditor’s rights, and banking attorneys. We work with our business services group to create trusts and other family organizations for clients with substantial wealth, closely held businesses, and special purpose assets.
When estate and trust disputes or will contests arise, our attorneys are ready to step in to represent our clients’ interests. With decades of experience, we have developed a sensitivity to the issues that can fracture family relationships and, therefore, always strive for practical solutions that can preserve family harmony.
