Founded in 1972, Lippman, Semsker & Salb has developed a tradition of excellence in the practice of law. Our Firm provides legal services in the areas of Employment Law; Wills, Trusts & Estates; and Family Law.

We have a robust practice helping families care for their loved ones, friends, and charitable interests by preparing Wills and Revocable Trusts.   We carefully consider the appropriate estate plan for every client.  We do not aim to fit your situation into a model, but instead we craft a Will and related documents to suit each client.  We prepare a durable power of attorney and an advance directive on healthcare (also known as a "living will") for every client whose choices make those appropriate tools.

We also assist and counsel personal representatives (also known as "executors") with probate and trust administration matters, including filing the will, setting up testamentary trusts, preparing accountings, dealing with creditors, preparing inventories and tax returns, valuing assets, and distributing assets. Post-death issues sometimes also include assisting personal representatives and potential heirs in will contests, valuation or accounting disputes, or in actions against trustees for breach of fiduciary duty. The firm also represents clients in guardianship and conservator matters.

We focus our practice on both middle-income families and families with substantial asset.We are skilled in utilizing trusts and other tax-planning mechanisms to permit families to maximize the value of their estates for their heirs and later generations.

Trusts & Estate planning often requires a careful preparation of a Trust.  For example, most families with young children will want a trust created for the care of the children in the event that both parents die.  We are fully equipped to create an appropriate revocable or irrevocable trust for your family.
