The importance of having a knowledgeable and experienced estate planning attorney cannot be emphasized strongly enough. Certainly, most attorneys can handle drawing up a will or registering or administrating a trust. However, not every attorney understands how to achieve your financial goals while ensuring compliance, minimizing the risk of disputes, and effectively protecting and preserving the assets you have worked so hard to build. The estate planning attorneys of Lipson Neilson, serving clients across the country including Las Vegas, Phoenix and the Detroit metropolitan area, are well known in the industry for their expertise in all areas of estate planning. Our clients trust us with their legacy and the financial future of their families, and we look forward to showing you how we can help you.
Wills
Our expertise extends to all areas of estate law, which is critical for business owners and high-net-worth individuals. You worked all your life to build your enterprise and your wealth — you must also create an airtight estate plan to manage the distribution of your wealth after your passing. Neglecting this can lead to challenges to your will and probate litigation.
Trusts
Estate planning is critical for high-net-worth individuals; without it, your wealth may be distributed after your death in a manner that is not in accordance with your wishes. It is never too early to draw up an estate plan. An airtight plan helps mitigate probate and trust administration and litigation.
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy requires the passing of the Means Test. The Means Test determines whether allowing someone to discharge their debts would be an abuse of the bankruptcy system. With dual income, it may not be possible to pass the Means Test which could result with the filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which takes longer. Thus, getting divorced first may make it easier to pass the Chapter 7 Means Test.
Tax Law
Nevada business owners often must deal with legal issues that come at them from many angles, including their customers, employees, and even the landowner they lease their building from. At Lipson Neilson, our team includes experts in employment law and litigation, real estate law, securities law, and private equity, as well as business and tax law. We can show you how to reduce your liability, save money on taxes and eliminate loopholes in your policies and procedures that make you vulnerable to lawsuits.
Debt Collection
In this lawsuit, plaintiffs had claimed that various creditors and law firms violated the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by allegedly applying too high an interest rate to judgments entered against these plaintiffs. The total damages being requested exceeded $1,000,000.
