Estate Planning
Fowler White attorneys work closely with clients to develop a thorough understanding of each client’s goals, needs, unique circumstances and financial short- and long-term goals. This deep appreciation of a client’s personal objectives, along with our collective technical expertise, enables our attorneys to implement a plan that maximizes wealth preservation and provides a simplified and comprehensive transfer of resources.
