While many of our clients are primarily concerned with minimizing the burden of
estate taxes, we are always concerned with, and sensitive to, the income tax ramifications
of any estate tax planning technique. We strongly believe that income tax planning
and estate tax planning are complementary pursuits, which is why we often refer
to ourselves simply as tax lawyers.
We also advise our clients of techniques which can be employed to minimize or
defer recognition of income, independent of any estate tax planning, such as installment
sales, private annuities, deferred payment arrangements and investment tax advice.
Finally, we are always actively involved in helping our clients determine the
most income tax efficient structures to use for their business activities.
