Wills/Trusts

It is important to work with a state specific expert when creating your will or trust. State laws can vary and directly impact your estate planning. It is important to choose the right vehicle for your estate plan. Bredemann and Shellander work to find the best solution for every client’s individual situation. Regardless of circumstances every person should have this basic and necessary form of estate planning completed. In particular, if you have minor children, legacy considerations or accumulated wealth and assets estate planning is critical to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Administering Probate and Trust Process:

Once a will or trust established, it is important to work with an attorney that is skilled in the administration process. If a will goes to probate there are timelines and filing deadlines that must be followed as determined by the court. Bredemann and Shellander have the knowledge to represent their clients through this difficult time and help provide an efficient transition of assets from the decedent’s estate to its beneficiaries. Bredemann and Shellander can guide their clients and their loved ones through this process.

Business Planning and Formation

Starting your own business can be daunting and risky. Depending on the size and type of business you are starting, there are unique potential tax consequences and potential issues that you might be facing. Bredemann and Shellander works with each individual client to setup the appropriate business structure for that particular situation. Choosing the correct business entity from the beginning is critical to your business's success. Bredemann and Shellander can also assist your business with annual filings and meeting minutes which may be requirements of your business entity, as well as buy sell agreements and business succession planning.
