Trusts and Estates

Howard G. Wachenfeld, a fellow of the American College of Trust & Estate Counsel, has over sixty years of experience helping hundreds of clients help fullfill their estate planning objectives.  In forming and administering estates and trusts, Howard takes the time to learn about his clients' circumstances and desires for the disposition of their assets, and advises clients of their options, including alternatives that minimize potential tax burdens when possible and seek to avoid future disputes.  When challenges do arise, we can assist aggrieved beneficiaries and executors evaluate their rights and responsibilities, and chart a path forward.
