Estate and Trust

Estate planning is not just about tax, it's also about family.

Will your current estate plan accomplish your desired objectives and ease the burden on your loved ones? If you're not certain that it will, or if it has been a while since your plan was reviewed, we highly recommend you make an appointment to review your estate plan immediately.

We at Wright Ford Young & Co. have the expertise to review your existing plan and:

• Provide independent, objective advice on whether your current plan will meet your goals
• Recommend additional estate planning options to supplement or improve the planning you've done
• Help to keep you in compliance with your estate plan

Whether the task is a review of a simple estate plan or planning for a multimillion dollar estate, our team of experts can advise you on ways to reduce or eliminate your estate tax.

We are also expert in the tax filings upon the death of a loved one. Upon the death of a loved one, most revocable living trusts will split into two or three separate trusts that create a complex labyrinth of pitfalls for the unwary. We make navigating that labyrinth easier by providing expertise, compassion, and guidance. We help ensure not only that your income and estate tax obligations are met, but that they are done in a tax-efficient manner to provide the greatest benefit to the decedent's heirs.

Whether you're an individual who has just lost a loved one, or a professional trustee, attorney, or another CPA, we can assist you with preparing everything from a simple fiduciary return to a complicated estate tax return with generation-skipping tax (GST) issues and challenging asset allocation.

Please call us today if you think we can be of service to you. We offer a free one-hour introductory meeting where we can discuss your needs and you can see how our expertise and compassion can help you through this difficult time.
