Services

Estate Tax Returns Expand

The total value of an estate’s assets may require a tax return to be filed. We prepare these returns and offer counsel on post-mortem tax planning opportunities for the estate and beneficiaries. Even when the total value of an estate’s assets may not require a tax return, we can assist with post-mortem tax planning to reduce the potential tax liability of a surviving spouse’s estate.

Estate and Trust Income Tax Returns Expand

The administration of an estate or trust often requires the fiduciary to file an income tax return. We prepare the necessary tax forms and also advise with distribution rules, elections and filing deadlines.

Gift Tax Returns Expand

Donors frequently transfer wealth during their lifetime and the nature of the gifting can come in a variety of forms. We prepare the gift tax returns to disclose the gifts, preserve applicable exemptions and minimize tax.

Estate Planning Expand

Law firms collaborate with us in the estate planning arena. We also enhance the attorneys’ services by providing their clients with estate, fiduciary and gift tax returns.

Business Owner Tax Planning Expand

Business owners’ and partnership tax returns are closely tied to the business, so we nearly always deliver tax planning and preparation services to the business owners whose companies we advise. This often also includes tax services for key employees.

Affluent Families Expand

Tax planning for affluent families is often a multi-generational affair with considerations required for tax-advantageous investments, business shares, capital gains, properties, gifting, legacy planning, and more.

Brian Graham

Brian Graham

Brian’s work entails compliance and strategic planning, accomplishing immediate short-term needs and blending them with long-term objectives for sustainable success. He finds it rewarding to navigate clients through complex issues that are often full of unfamiliar and confusing terminology. Leaning on his dual experience in law and tax, he specializes in assisting individuals who have created trusts, are the beneficiaries of trusts or are involved in some aspect of an estate administration. That type of involvement spirals outward to also helping with clients’ business and individual tax needs.
