Estates, Trusts, Probate & Elder Law

Establishing trust to protect and serve generations.

The Rogers Towers attorneys who specialize in estates, trusts, probate and elder law help clients navigate the complexities of providing for children and protecting parents and grandparents.

Protecting families’ assets and relationships requires careful planning and a thorough knowledge of the law. Our estate planning and elder care attorneys work closely with clients to build connections and understand their wishes and needs. Then we translate those priorities into a retirement plan, estate plan, will or trust that will best protect the family’s interests, both now and in the future.

Our estate planning lawyers have the experience and insights needed to anticipate any flaws or weaknesses in a client’s existing plan while minimizing the impact of relevant tax law. Our experience also includes:

• Complex wills and trusts with credit shelter
• Qualified terminal interest property
• Generation-skipping transfer tax provisions
• Irrevocable life insurance trusts
• Short-term trusts
• Charitable trusts

Our probate litigation experience includes will and trust contests and construction suits, objections to accountings, claim disputes, contested guardianships, powers of attorney, and the resolution of various homestead and real property issues involving decedents’ estates. We also have a wealth of experience in tax law issues as they pertain to estate planning and related matters. We help clients with accountings, federal estate tax returns, and audits of estate tax returns as well as requests for IRS rulings.

As client family members grow older, we help anticipate and provide for their needs and protect their rights. The attorneys specializing in elder law at Rogers Towers provide advice and a full range of services on all areas important to the elder community. These include asset protection, probate, guardianship, veteran’s benefits, Medicare and Medicaid issues and more.
