Areas of Practice
Estate Planning
An effective estate plan can provide precise instructions about your final arrangements in case of incapacity or an untimely death. Unlike larger estate planning firms, here at Abbas Law Group, your estate plan will be carefully drafted and implemented by an attorney, not a paralegal. Whether you need a complete estate plan, an amendment of your existing estate plan, or just a will, Durable Power of Attorney, or an Advance Healthcare Directive, we are here to help.
Advanced Estate Planning
Beyond basic estate planning is advanced estate planning. Advanced estate planning is highly beneficial to those who either have sizable estates or who are looking to preserve and protect their estate for future generations. Advanced estate planning can include asset protection, gifting and irrevocable trusts. If you have questions, or are interested in implementing advanced estate planning, contact us so we can analyze your circumstances and determine your exact legal needs.
Estate Planning for Non-U.S. Citizens
It goes without saying that the laws governing the U.S. estate and gift tax system are complex and the taxes and penalties for mistakes are high. For non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. residents, the U.S. estate and gift tax system is even more onerous and requires a much higher degree of awareness. Our firm will help you navigate the convoluted waters of estate planning and help you protect your assets.
Estate Planning for Military Families
You’re a guardian of your country and your family. In order to safeguard your family’s financial future, consider taking steps that help you gain control of your property and provide for your family. Abbas Law Group can help you create an estate plan that protects your family and help you secure your family’s future.
Probate
Probate is a legal process by which title to property is transferred from the decedent's estate to his/her beneficiaries or heirs, and it takes place after someone dies. Our job is to assist you through the challenges of probate, and our guidance encompasses the entire process, from the opening of the probate, until the final distribution to the beneficiaries or heirs. Our practice also extends to providing assistance with tools and techniques geared towards avoidance of full probate when applicable.
Trust Administration
Trust Administration is often an onerous task. Our law firm will work with the Trustee and beneficiaries to have the trust administered in a timely and professional manner. We can offer peace of mind to the Trustee by making sure the terms of the trust agreement have been satisfied. If you have been appointed as a Successor Trustee and have questions, or are currently acting as a Trustee, contact us so that we can assist you in fulfilling your fiduciary duties.
