Loren M. Lopin, Attorney, Trusts & Estates P.C.

Estate planning works as insurance for your family and loved ones. You don't have to justify assets whether they were inherited, earned, or hoped for. What matters is you want your assets delivered according to your dreams, with low transfer taxes and estate taxes. Thus, consult my firm to achieve your estate planning aims. We believe in personal service and customer satisfaction. #1: Preparation Can Minimize Estate Tax Liability Creating a will or living trust is the primary step in estate planning. However, people with vast estates should consider minimizing tax liability and ensuring wealth protection. Depending on the assets you have in your name at the time of your death, your estate may have to pay estate taxes. The federal estate tax rate was as high as 46% in 2007. If you are prepared, I will have numerous strategies that can reduce or even eliminate your estate taxes. You may have other estate planning worries, primarily if your offspring is minors. Who will take care of minor children in case you die? Or become unable to manage your estate? What criteria will you use to select the right guardian? At what age should your offspring inherit your assets? Who will make financial and medical decisions if you cannot? If you are permanently vegetative, how long do you want to be kept alive on life support?

Loren Lopin is a fantastic attorney; his expertise in estate planning is partly why he has been our family's lawyer for over two decades. Loren truly impressed me. He gave us useful advice when he immediately and efficiently corrected a previous attorney's error in my time of need. He is a thoughtful and understanding person, which his clients and their family members like. I can empathize. Due to previous Probate experiences, spread over the years he has helped many individuals or families avoid hefty Probate fees, the word of mouth reviews I received had spoken of him before I met him. I have referred clients to him because of them. His typical client came to him because they recognised in time so many attorneys do not handle probate avoidance planning making those final stages hard or almost crooked on their own. One of his unique skills that I have seen many clients seek his services for is his ability to bring peace and order in families dealing with death and asset successor. He has helped many individuals sort out their existing estate plans, identifying and fixing the many mistakes/misunderstandings so they end up with a plan that almost seems perfect in the end leaving his client feeling quite settled and satisfied. Loren is a very well-rounded attorney I feel anyone would be lucky to have working for them.
