estate planning

Betts Austin works with individuals in designing and implementing their estate plans. For clients with taxable estates we offer a range of alternatives for reducing their tax exposure. For individuals with nontaxable estates we identify and recommend the most direct and efficient solutions that will satisfy the client's goals. For the closely held business owner we assist in developing a succession plan for the business in connection with the business owner's estate plan.

bUSINESS Acquisitions,   Mergers, and Reorganizations

Betts Austin represents clients in connection with business acquisitions, mergers and other tax-free reorganizations. These transactions typically involve complex federal income tax considerations which all of the attorneys in the firm see on a regular basis. We endeavor to structure each and every such transaction so as to minimize the overall tax exposure to both the business and its owners.

PROBATE

We regularly assist clients in matters of estate and trust administration, including the preparation of federal and state estate and gift tax returns.

Federal, State and Local Taxation

We represent clients on a wide range of federal, state and local tax matters. We not only assist clients in arranging their affairs to minimize their tax exposure, but we also represent taxpayers in tax controversies before federal, state and local tax authorities and tribunals. Our tax expertise extends to income taxes, estate, gift and generation-skipping taxes, sales and use taxes, gross receipts taxes, real estate excise taxes,  and real and personal property taxes.

BUSINESS FORMATIONS

We also assist clients in the formation of business entitles, including corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships. In selecting the appropriate entity in which to conduct business our attorneys pay particular attention to tax considerations, both in the short and long-term, as planning for the ultimate sale of a business should often begin at the time of formation.

Aviation Taxation

In his Of Counsel status to Aero Law Group PC, Tim Austin regularly advises clients on matters concerning the federal, state and local tax issues associated with the acquisition, ownership and operation of business and commercial aircraft.
