Estate Tax
As you move through the process of estate planning, you might be faced with complex estate tax concerns. The types of taxes that may apply will depend on the size of the estate, as well as the nature of the assets in question. Our attorneys can help you prepare for and address any tax issues that may arise.
Estate Litigation
In the wake of a person's death, it is not uncommon for surviving family members to disagree about how the estate is to be managed. There may be questions regarding the validity of an estate planning document or the decedent's decision-making ability. In addition, claims might be brought by creditors. At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, we handle all types of estate litigation cases.
