Tax Solutions

When valuing businesses or assets in connection with a taxable estate, our team uses valuation and estate planning skills to anticipate issues the Internal Revenue Service may raise in advance of filing the estate tax return. We’ve performed many valuations of businesses and underlying assets for estate, gift and tax purposes that range from $1 million to hundreds of millions.

And, keeping current with Tax Court and Appellate Court valuation rulings enables us to address issues in advance and increase the likelihood the IRS will not successfully challenge the valuation.

  • Estate planning.
  • Family limited partnerships (FLPs).
  • Gift tax.
  • Insurance tax.
  • Net operating loss carry-forwards.
  • Minimization of tax.
