Trust Creation, Modification, and Termination

  • Download Overview

Leech Tishman’s Trusts & Estates team assists clients with the creation, termination, and modification of trusts.

Our attorneys consult with clients to determine their objectives in establishing a trust, whether it’s for long-term wealth management, tax purposes, protection from creditors, or to preserve assets for future beneficiaries.

Leech Tishman assists clients in establishing the appropriate trust for their unique situation. When life circumstances inevitably change, our attorneys are skilled in modifying trusts, which often requires a proceeding in probate court. Our attorneys determine whether a trust modification is appropriate, effectuate the modification if permitted by the court, and address the relevant estate and income tax issues. Consulting with a trusted attorney to establish a trust can be an efficient way to effectively manage your wealth and legally minimize tax obligations.
