Estate Planning / Probate
Estate planning is vital for both young and old to ensure final wishes are followed. Estate planning documents such as living trusts, wills, revocable and irrevocable tax advantaged trusts, and cost-effective charitable trusts, can provide assurance that valuable assets are protected, fewer taxes are paid, and probate is avoided.
Compton, Prewett, Thomas & Hickey, LLP, has extensive experience creating estate plans that facilitate the handling of taxes, wills, business succession, insurance, property and trusts. Our attorneys possess significant knowledge regarding probate court and complex tax law and provide important tax-saving advice that ensures estates are administered at the lowest tax cost possible.
Our estate administration responsibilities often include attending probate court proceedings, liquidating assets and debts, assuring proper distribution of assets, completing appropriate tax returns, and defending and/or prosecuting will contests
The firm's estate planning practice is lead by Joseph Hickey, who has an LL.M. in taxation and 25 years in estate planning experience. He was the only certified tax law specialist south of Little Rock before the Arkansas Bar eliminated the certification program.
