Whether you’re a business owner protecting decades of hard work or a parent navigating difficult family dynamics, understanding how to properly exclude someone from your estate is crucial—and far more complicated than simply leaving them out of your will.

Most notably, OBBBA extends most of the provisions from the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), which were to expire on December 31, 2025.

Whether you’re creating legacy wealth or avoiding probate, a family trust can be a powerful tool—but it’s not right for everyone.

Surprise heirs are showing up and sowing disorder for people handling their loved ones’ estates.

The largest intergenerational wealth transfer in American history is underway, with trillions expected to shift from Baby Boomers to their heirs over the coming decades.

Portability isn’t automatic; even nontaxable estates must file a tax return to elect it.

Where Is the Proper Venue for Probate Litigation in Multi-State Estates?

Creating a trust is only the first step — ensuring that your assets are properly transferred into it is what makes your plan work.
Fantastic representation and work by Ellen Stewart and her legal team in the area of elder law. If you need expert assistance, this is where you go. This firm was recommended to me to me by an attorney friend I trust implicitly and was so glad to have gotten Ellen's name. I give them my highest recommendation.Posted on Jenn L. Pitts Thorough and professional.Posted on Rick McMaster I've interfaced with all of the attorneys at Barnes, Lipscomb, Stewart and all are very good. They have a lot of breadth and expertise from many collective decades of practice.Posted on Gayle Rosenthal I can't praise Barbara Lipscomb and her team highly enough. When my husband died suddenly, they helped me navigate the rocky waters of probate; one for which we had inadequately prepared. It's not easy for one to handle what feels like a legal and financial avalanche when freshly widowed. Barbara is an expert, she is available, she has a calming influence, and was kind to me when I did not know up from down. One doesn't expect heart from a lawyer; it's not their job. But I always felt there was compassion and patience for my befuddlement rather than annoyance. If only we had known to see Barbara and her team for our wills. I never felt overcharged nor did I perceive any effort to overbill. I was very lucky to have found this firm.Posted on Katherine Robinson Had an absolutely outstanding experience with Clint Alexander in dealing with a family related issue. He was incredibly responsive and gave us value added advice when we needed it the most. Very professional and fair as well as knowledgeable about various aspects of the law allowing us to weigh all options. Call act and I would highly recommend.Posted on Nicole Glass
