Business owners and families come to this practice area for two related reasons: to plan ahead, and to administer an estate once a plan is put into action. KSJ provides sophisticated estate planning built around each client's specific financial and family circumstances, along with probate and tax guidance for those managing an estate after a loved one's death.

For business owners in particular, estate and tax planning is inseparable from succession planning — who takes over the business, how ownership transfers, and how tax exposure is managed along the way. We coordinate those pieces so a client's personal and business planning move in the same direction.

We advise on:

  • Wills, trusts, and estate planning
  • Probate and estate administration
  • Tax planning for individuals and business owners
  • Business succession planning
  • Trust administration and trustee counsel
