Since our founding, Thompson Greenspon has assisted numerous high net worth family groups transfer wealth in the most tax efficient manner.

The different goals of each client drive the strategy and solution to the planning. Once the plan is in place, we encourage periodic review to determine if any portion of the plan should be modified as a result of changing tax law or other circumstances.

 

We can assist with the following:

 

  • Designing and implementing of estate plans
  • Setting up and transferring business interests and other assets to dynasty trusts
  • Qualified personal residence trusts
  • Marital trusts
  • QTIP trusts
  • Family charitable foundations
  • Charitable trusts
  • Life insurance trusts
  • Family limited partnerships
  • Defective grantor trusts and other transfer vehicles

 

In addition, we will prepare any needed gift tax returns as a result of the transactions.

 

We stay involved when the estate becomes active, helping the estate executor or administrator with any required estate tax returns (including those filed only for portability of estate tax exemption), fiduciary income tax returns, probate and trust court accountings and advising on possible post-death elections.  Thompson Greenspon works with you, your family or your business in implementing the plan both before and after the date of death.

 

We are continually involved in assisting clients, both business and individual, with planning for the future.  In the estate planning area, we advocate a team approach, working closely with the individual’s family, your estate planning attorneys and your investment advisors to assist you in developing the best approach for each individual’s circumstances to plan for wealth transfer, whether that is to a spouse, succeeding generations, charities or other beneficiaries.
