Tax planning: I advise California businesses and individuals on general tax planning. This includes advising them on the tax effects of transactions and tax planning for such transactions. Whether you are buying or selling property, real estate transactions have tax consequences. I can advise you on the tax implications of buying or selling residential or commercial real estate in California, or help you plan for mergers and acquisitions. My goal is to help clients minimize the tax implications of their business decisions while maximizing their earning capacity.
Business formation and incorporation: I help clients identify which business structure is best suited for them based on their goals and circumstances. I have handled incorporations for both sub-chapter S and C corporations, as well as formation of limited liability companies (LLCs) and partnerships. I also advise business owners how to limit their personal exposure to liability.
Estate planning and business succession planning: I help clients craft estate plans to help them avoid probate and minimize estate taxes. I am experienced in creating wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney for property, and advance health care directives. In business succession planning, I help companies avoid uncertainty and business interruption when there are changes in partners, management or directors.
