Janet Brewer U.S. View Profile
| I am available to answer questions about probating estates, preparing wills and trusts, administering estates and trusts, forming family limited partnerships and limited liability companies, and establishing a wide variety of estate and gift tax-sensitive trusts (charitable trusts, children's trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, etc.).
I can also answer questions regarding the preparation of estate tax returns (Form 706) in taxable estates.
Please note: I am only able to practice law in the State of California. I cannot answer specific questions about other states' laws; I can only provide some "general" information that may or may not apply to your situation. | Available Ask A Question View Past Answers |
