Cleveland Trusts and Estates Lawyers: Tax Planning and Charitable Trusts

Managing Tax Liability, Planning for Charitable Giving

Many of Ziegler Metzger's estate planning clients need accurate and up-to-date advice about managing anticipated tax liability, including educational or religious institutions in their estate plans, or finding ways to maximize the value of marital deductions.

No matter what your family's estate planning priorities might be, you can depend on our lawyers for sound tax advice and resourceful solutions through carefully crafted trust instruments that take full account of your current circumstances and long-range goals. To learn how Ziegler Metzger can help you achieve your objectives, contact us.

We provide comprehensive client service in the creation, administration and amendment of trusts. Our attorneys present each client with a range of estate planning options that incorporate such highly focused trust solutions as A-B trusts, charitable remainder unitrusts, grantor-retained annuity or income trusts, conservation easements, revocable living trusts, and other vehicles that combine tax liability management features with other personal or family objectives.

With the renewed federal tax liability for larger estates, our periodic review letters for estate planning clients will be especially valuable regardless of Congressional action. Our proactive and resourceful approach to legislative and regulatory changes in tax policy helps our clients respond quickly and effectively.

There's a certain sense of balance between efficiency and expertise that can only be delivered by a firm that is comfortable with who they are and what they are working toward. We think it's this time-honored approach that leads to the value of good counsel.
