Our Services
Probate
We assist clients with all required court proceedings, locating and collecting assets and transfering them to heirs, and other steps necessary to carry out an individual’s estate plan. Often, we can achieve enhanced tax savings that were not previously contemplated through post-mortem planning techniques.
Trust Administration
Trusts have become commonplace in estate planning. Devine Millimet advises individual trustees, corporate fiduciaries, and trust beneficiaries regarding the legal issues and fiduciary responsibilities that arise from the use of this estate planning device. Our lawyers can help with the oversight of professional trustees. In some cases our lawyers serve at the request of the family as trustee or co-trustee.
Tax Preparation
To complement our probate and trust administration services, Devine Millimet prepares federal and state estate tax returns, gift tax returns and fiduciary income tax returns.
Representation Before Tax Authorities
We provide experienced representation in audits, appeals and inquiries on federal and state transfer tax and fiduciary income tax matters before the Internal Revenue Service, the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, and in Tax Court.
