Estate Planning

The Larsen Firm understands that creating and devising a legacy to pass on that will provide for loved ones is perhaps one of the most important decisions a person will have to make. Our attorneys provide clients with expertise and drafting to protect their business ventures, life-earned wealth, and to maintain the support and long-term needs of family members far after the clients have departed this world. Further, given the constant state of change with regard to the Federal estate and gift Tax, rest assured our professionals are adept with existing tax laws to help clients minimize any tax liability. As a client, The Larsen Firm can offer you a wide range of serves, such as the following:
