ESTATE AND GIFT TAX REPRESENTATION SERVICES
WKBK&Y Estate and Gift Tax Representation Services are integrated into its Estate Planning practice wherein our lawyers advise in every area of estate and gift planning, including income, estate and gift taxes. In the past several years, the ongoing changes in the estate and gift tax laws and regulations have made it critical to be prepared to address future uncertainties in the law. Our firm’s estate planning clients are not limited to Sacramento and Northern California; our attorneys also advise out-of-state clients on estate and gift planning for California held property and in-state clients on out-of-state held properties.
Our tax attorneys provide assistance for tax issues pertaining to both basic and advanced estate planning. We can also help with donations to charities—including donations made through a charitable remainder trust—plus plan to minimize estate taxes and advise trustees.
We assist with many areas of planning, both traditional and nontraditional. Bypass trusts, QTIP trusts and other irrevocable trusts involve significant estate and income tax issues. In addition, our firm is involved with structuring insurance trusts, qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs) and grantor retained income and annuity trusts.
