Godfrey & Kahn's Estate Planning Practice Group is comprised of attorneys who have a wide range of experience in all aspects of wealth transfer techniques, trust and estate administration, probate procedure, fiduciary income tax and related federal and state transfer tax laws. At the time of its founding over 50 years ago, the Firm concentrated in the areas of estate, business, and tax planning. Today, the Firm continues to be recognized for its sophisticated and innovative estate planning practice for both individual and business clients.

Each of our attorneys is skilled in all of the estate planning disciplines, including the drafting of wills, trusts and other estate planning instruments; preparation of federal transfer tax returns (including the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes); charitable planning; the administration of estates and trusts; business succession planning; and the representation of clients before the Internal Revenue Service and in local, state, and federal courts. As a result, each member of our team is able to provide our clients with a full range of planning services. Such services often extend beyond economic and tax considerations, and address the personal concerns and issues important to the clients and families who rely on us for sound advice because of relationships built on mutual trust and confidence.
