Old Capital Law Firm

Practice Overview

At Old Capital Law Firm, we provide a broad range of legal services related to estate, trust, and tax law, including:

• Estate Planning. There are many estate planning options to consider. We assist clients in creating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, family partnerships and LLCs.
  
  
• Special Needs Planning. If someone you love has special needs, you can create special needs trusts to ensure that your loved one will be properly taken care of in the future.
  
  
• Guardianships. When individuals are unable to make important decisions regarding healthcare and financial matters, a guardianship can be established to protect their interests.
  
  
• Estate Administration. When you have lost a friend or family member, you have enough on your mind without worrying about probate and estate administration. We can manage your legal concerns so that you can be there for your family. We will walk you through the probate process and prepare and file the necessary state and federal estate tax returns and fiduciary income tax returns.
  
  
• Representation of Beneficiaries. If you are a beneficiary of an estate or trust and have concerns about how it is being administered, we can ensure that your interests are protected.
  
  
• Trust Administration and Fiduciary Matters. We assist banks and trust companies with all matters relating to the administration of Delaware trusts, including the filing of petitions to the Delaware Court of Chancery.
  
  
• Tax Planning. In addition to assisting individuals with federal gift tax, federal estate tax, and generation-skipping transfer tax issues, Old Capital Law Firm also assists in the creation and representation of tax-exempt and charitable organizations.
