Real Estate
Real estate is a diverse area of practice for Taylor Law Offices. Attorneys in this area of practice are involved in real estate acquisitions and transfers, financing, development, construction, and leasing.
Attorneys with expertise in other areas of the firm's practice are relied on to provide advice on matters such as environmental law, estate planning, taxation, and corporate and general business law.
Real estate matters that our attorneys handle on a regular basis include commercial purchase and sale contracts, commercial financing, title and title insurance, development joint ventures, commercial building construction, annexation and zoning matters, and tax-free exchanges.
Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning, and Probate
Individuals, families, and fiduciaries rely on our counsel for issues involving estate and gift planning, as well as probate and trust administration, to achieve the desired transfer of their assets. The firm's attorneys are experienced in drafting wills and some sophisticated estate planning techniques, including life insurance trusts, living trusts, family limited partnerships, charitable trusts, and lifetime gifting programs.
The firm is also experienced in counseling and advising closely held businesses on issues that relate to transfer of ownership to the next generation of family members. Additionally, we have knowledge in handling disputes among heirs and fiduciaries such as will contests and other issues arising out of probate and estate administration.
Energy Law
