Offering Individualized Solutions for Sophisticated Estate Matters

McGill assists clients with all aspects of estate planning, including wills, powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions, probate, and trust matters. Our attorneys advise and represent individuals, families, personal representatives, trustees and other parties across Nebraska with a strong emphasis on financially sophisticated estates, estates involving closely-held companies and other business interests. Each client receives an individualized approach focused on furthering family and charitable goals, protecting assets, minimizing tax consequences and accomplishing other specific estate planning goals.

At McGill, we appreciate that our estate planning clients come to us with different needs and expectations. We work with our clients to develop customized plans that address their concerns and long-term purposes. Whether your focus is to preserve and grow your wealth for your loved ones, address unique challenges created by a second marriage or a child with special needs, or contribute to a favorite charity, we take the time to understand your wishes and provide the tools needed to achieve them.         

For many of our clients, transferring ownership of a family business is a paramount concern in the estate planning process. Our attorneys have experience assisting with succession planning using corporate recapitalizations, buy-sell agreements, family limited partnerships, and ownership transfer options. Moreover, because family and business circumstances may change over time, our legal team provides ongoing support to ensure that our clients’ estate plans reflect their most current objectives.
