Estate Planning & Probate

Estate planning is an important service that Hoff Curtis provides its clients as they begin arranging the distribution of their assets. Creating a will and clearly identifying your wishes, particularly if you have minor children, is just one aspect of estate planning that Hoff Curtis can work with you to outline.

Hoff Curtis' estate planning attorney, Michael Russell, works to eliminate uncertainties over the administration of a probate. Our estate planning and probate services include:

  • Wills, including trusts for minor children

  • Guardianships for minor children

  • Trusts, as will substitutes, for tax planning, and other special purposes

  • Powers of attorney for financial matters and health care decisions

  • Probate and trust administration

  • Public benefit qualification and planning

Estate planning is always a delicate task, but combining it with business considerations can be even more challenging. Mike faces these situations with a clear head and examines each client's case thoroughly, providing the best solution for the situation. For example, an entrepreneur and successful business owner was interested in succession planning options for his children. He needed to reorganize his business to allow for his adult children to operate separate business units autonomously. Mike set up two LLCs to separate business operations with some shared services control and ownership in a tax-free organization.
