Trust and Estate Services

EisnerAmper’s trust and estate professionals work with clients and their advisors to create and implement estate plans that achieve the client’s personal and financial goals. This frequently involves creative solutions to help protect and preserve wealth for future generations, minimize potential estate taxes, plan for business succession or the sale of the family business, as well as charitable planning. In addition, when major life events occur, such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child, or there are significant tax law changes, EisnerAmper’s professionals are there to assist clients in reviewing their current estate plan to see if it still makes sense, and accomplishes the client’s objectives.

Furthermore, in keeping with today’s globally mobile client, EisnerAmper professionals have developed a recognized expertise in the unique planning issues that arise for foreign clients with connections to the U.S., and for U.S. clients with offshore assets. This expertise has been recognized by our peers with a coveted Private Client award from the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
