Estate Planning: Wills, Trusts, and Planning
Do you have a will? Would a trust make more sense for you? We can help you understand the options, and get the proper documents in order to protect your assets for your heirs.
Tax: Return Preparation, Tax Planning and IRS Issues
We can help with all types of tax preparation, especially business tax returns; whether you have a corporation, partnership, or you are self-employed.
Tax planning is helpful, but especially helpful when you are considering a change in your current situation, or are considering leaving your job. Are you considering the purchase of a new home, or thinking of selling? All of these situations can impact your taxes. Our goal is to structure your transactions, in order to help you the most!
When you receive a notice from the IRS and don't know where to turn, come see us. We can speak to the IRS on your behalf to help resolve your issue.
Nonprofit Organizations: Formation and Compliance
If you are considering starting a nonprofit organization, we can walk you through the necessary steps, and prepare forms as they are needed.
If you already have a nonprofit organization, we can help you stay in compliance by filing your annual tax return and reviewing your policies, procedures, and transactions prior to acting. Please contact us to hear more of the options we offer, as there are many.
Evictions
We collaborate with property owners to address non-payment and damage issues. We initiate the legal proceedings, work with the sheriff's office and represent the property owners in court to resolve tenancy disputes effectively.
Probate
When a loved one passes away it can be difficult to deal with their passing. Adding dealing with their property doesn't make it any easier. We can help alleviate some of the stress involved. We can help guide you through the process, or we can act on your behalf to work with the probate court.
