The Inman & Strickler estate planning team consists of two attorneys
with extensive educational backgrounds and practical, hands
on experience in addressing and meeting the estate planning
needs and goals of our diverse clientele.
We have assisted our clients by drafting their wills, revocable
living trusts, irrevocable trusts, life insurance trusts, powers
of attorney, medical powers of attorney, advance medical directives
and other documents which are necessary to implement their total
estate planning goals. We have also assisted clients in the
administration of an estate, as well as the administration of
trust agreements and the preparation of Federal and Virginia
estate tax returns.
In helping our clients formulate their estate plans, we view
our job as one of familiarizing them with not only the laws
of Virginia, but also the implications and consequences of Federal
estate and gift tax laws, exceptions and exemptions. For example,
it may be a clients’ goal to transfer their assets directly
from one person to another. However, because of the impact of
the tax laws, several additional steps may be necessary to maximize
their potential estate tax savings. Through the entire planning
process, and thereafter, our goal is to make the complex tax
laws and their impact understandable to our clients, and to
assure that every aspect of their personalized estate plan reflects
their wishes.
