Our lawyers advise high-net-worth individuals on regulations and procedures for effective and efficient management and distribution of digital assets, including tax optimization.
Planning for the future is an essential part of life, and wills, trusts, and estates play a key role in that process. These legal instruments help manage assets during one's lifetime, ensure care for loved ones, and can provide a legacy for generations. From last will and testaments to living trusts and powers of attorney, these legal documents provide peace of mind and financial security. For instance, under the Uniform Probate Code, which has been adopted in part by many states, specific requirements must be met for a will to be valid, highlighting the necessity for precision and legal acumen. Regardless of whether you're a young professional beginning to accumulate wealth or an experienced entrepreneur planning for retirement, strategic estate planning is essential.
Wills, trusts, and estate law is a mosaic of federal and state legislation and jurisprudence. For instance, the Internal Revenue Code dictates the federal tax treatment of estates and trusts, influencing how these tools are structured. Additionally, state laws, such as the laws of states that have adopted the Uniform Trust Code, shape how trusts are established and administered. The Uniform Trust Code provides a comprehensive model for the governance of trusts, addressing issues such as the duties and powers of trustees, beneficiaries' rights, and the modification and termination.
One emerging area in this field involves digital assets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. As these assets become increasingly common, it's important to include them in estate planning to ensure their proper management and distribution. This involves understanding their unique characteristics, their volatile value, and the legal frameworks that govern them. For example, the Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act provides authority for fiduciaries to manage digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. This statute is increasingly adopted by states, highlighting the growing importance of digital asset planning in a comprehensive estate plan. We have helped dozens of digital asset investors include plans for their crypto and NFTs.
