Business planning is not just for the young, and estate planning is not only for the elderly. Our philosophy in providing both business and estate planning legal advice and services is that the two areas are sides of the same coin (leaves from the same tree) and should be considered at the same time. For example, when you buy a house, get married, adopt a child, or set up a business, you should also plan for the disposition of your assets. These are good examples of business and estate planning combined. The wisest course in these instances is to plan well in advance of a circumstance that would put your assets at risk.

The Knee Law Firm is dedicated to helping individuals and business owners make wise decisions in all seasons of life, whether charting a sound strategy for your business or practice today, or contemplating the future as you consider estate planning or elder care issues. No matter what your stage or station in life, having legal counselors who understand your goals thoroughly and who can help you implement them successfully, is critically important.

If you have significant assets, the firm's wealth planning services will be of particular interest to you. These services encompass more sophisticated estate planning techniques such as family limited partnerships and planned charitable giving, among others, that protect assets as well as result in the most favorable tax treatment.

Even the most thoughtful estate plans may be contested. If this occurs, our attorneys will seek a quick and effective resolution through negotiation, mediation, or if necessary, litigation.
