Whether it involves a simple will, power of attorney or health care directive, creation of trusts and charitable bequests, everyone requires legal assistance with estate planning.  Goals need to be established and concerns met for all forward planning documents:  tax minimization, long term care for family members, wealth preservation, business succession and so on.  Likewise, we handle estate administrations for estates of all sizes, including those where the decedent did not have a will.

Probate litigation arises out of disputes involving estates, in particular the distribution of assets of family and closely held businesses.  Our litigation team has substantial experience in this area of the law and can help resolve these sensitive issues professionally and proficiently.  Barry A. Knopf has always maintained an active interest and practice in the area of probate litigation representing both estates and contestants.
