Wills & Estate Planning

The estate planning attorneys at Smith, Gilliam, Williams & Miles provide personal, in-depth counseling to individuals and families for the transfer of property. Services range from developing a basic estate plan involving wills and revocable trusts to designing more sophisticated strategies for the transfer of family wealth to younger generations and charities. Our clients include individuals, families, nonprofit organizations, and corporate fiduciaries.

We customize estate plans to minimize taxes, maximize wealth transfers, and ensure the final distribution of the clients’ assets are following their wishes.

Also, our estate lawyers advise trustees, executors, and beneficiaries on matters such as the interpretation of document provisions, tax issues, and disagreements between beneficiaries and fiduciaries. We also assist clients with probate administration and post-death administration of living trusts.
