Specialities of the House

Trust, Estate Tax Planning and Compliance

The area of estate and gift tax has been changing at an incredible rate in the last few years.  We can help you identify your need for estate planning in order to make sure that your assets will not be left to Uncle Sam.

The process usually involves using an estate planning attorney and possibly your financial advisor.  Our job is to work closely with these experts to meet your needs.  This includes working with trustees and executors to ensure the proper returns and elections are filed as required.

Elder Care Consulting and Accounting

We offer services to assist the elderly with regular recordkeeping, bank statement reconcilation and financial management.  We can make sure that check registers are kept up to date and all bills paid on time;  pension checks, etc. are received and deposited on a timely manner.  Never have to worry about missing payments for property or income tax.  No more worries about lapsed insurance policies.

Regular reports can be produced for the priciples involved as well as for any family members, beneficiaries or trustees that are designated.

Real Estate - Tax Deferred Exchanges (Sec. 1031's)

The tax-deferred exchange remains the most important tool in planning for non-personal real estate transactions.  The transactions are complex and our job is to work with you and your exchange facilitator to provide you with the tax information you need to make an informed decision and to file the necessary tax forms.
