Estate Planning
This is about being a responsible adult, making sure that you have a plan for death, incapacity, and healthcare decisions. We will also assist clients with complex matters, including estate and gift taxation.
Asset Protection
You worked hard for what you have. Wealth is a magnet for lawsuits. We help clients ethically and legally protect and preserve their wealth for themselves and their families.
Probate
Families need to navigate an unfamiliar process of court-supervised estate administration. The process is full of pitfalls though it is meant to protect both parties and creditors.
Trust Administration
We help successor Trustees make sense of their responsibilities while compassionately and efficiently accomplish the goals of loved ones as wealth transfers from one generation to the next.
Charitable Planning
Many families that have achieved success see that as part of a larger mission. Charitable planning can benefit wealth building, tax savings and the knowledge that you are doing good.
Trust & Probate Litigation
Our Trust and Probate litigation practice group has deep expertise representing Trustees, beneficiaries and creditors navigate the complex and sometimes emotionally charged issues, including capacity claims, elder abuse, and disputes among trustees, beneficiaries, and creditors.

Angelina
Past Client
"I was referred to Mr. Shaikh by a financial planner who is, also, a longtime friend. At first I was hesitant, because of the distance between his offices and my residence, but after my initial phone consultation with him, I was assured that there was no one else for me.
Mr. Shaikh and his legal assistant, have been nothing short of compassionate, incredibly competent and willing to go the distance with me in ways that I never anticipated. He does not grand stand, but sticks to the bones of the law in a simple, direct and effective way."
Confidential
Past Client
Mr. Shaikh was able to quickly and effectively move a fairly nasty dispute over inheritance through the court with minimal impact on me. I was so pleased to turn the emotionally upsetting matter over to him, and receive my settlement at the end!
He kept me updated, followed my wishes, and advised me on the most prudent steps to take- all the while sparing me the headache and drama of the ordeal, so that I could remain focused on my life and family.
