Trust & Estates

Day Pitney trusts and estates attorneys have extensive experience helping generations of families plan for the future. They provide clients with sophisticated domestic and international estate planning and estate settlement techniques to protect clients' assets during their lifetimes as well as to ensure that their property passes according to their wishes. As the most populous generation continues to age, the Day Pitney T&E attorneys stay abreast of all trusts and estates issues as these issues are being identified, redefined and challenged.

The Day Pitney Difference

Many large law firms have private client practices that function mainly as a service practice. Their depth of experience is limited. Day Pitney has more than 70 lawyers who assist individuals and families with trusts and estates matters full time. Our lawyers are supported by a staff of more than 30 trusts and estates paralegals. Together, we have literally hundreds of years of experience advising individuals and their families, as well as individual and professional fiduciaries, with respect to the full range of trusts and estates matters.

The lawyers in our Trusts and Estates practice group consider themselves part of a team that collaborates to produce the best, most practical results for our clients. Our lawyers regularly consult with one another to take advantage of our collective experience to provide the benefits of the group's knowledge to address any particular situation.

The partners and counsel in our group have been practicing in our field for an average of more than 20 years. When clients consult with a Day Pitney trusts and estates lawyer, they receive the benefit of not only that lawyer's knowledge and experience but also the benefit of a collective group effort over many years to provide cutting-edge yet practical and results-oriented solutions to legal issues.

The Day Pitney Trusts and Estates practice group is also different in that it works in collaboration with all the firm's lawyers to provide whatever services are needed for our clients. For example, our corporate, employment, real estate, trial and environmental lawyers regularly provide advice with respect to legal issues relating to our clients and their business interests. When a client retains Day Pitney to advise on a matter encompassed by our practice, they can be assured that all the resources of the firm will be available to provide whatever assistance is needed for issues that arise in the current engagement or in the future.

Our attorneys are highly recognized in their field. Our team includes 15 attorneys who are elected fellows of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC), a group of peer-elected trusts and estates attorneys across the United States and abroad with more than 10 years of experience in the active practice of probate and trust law or estate planning.

The Day Pitney Trusts and Estates and Family Offices practices and attorneys have been recognized locally and nationally by publications including; Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Guide, U.S. News & World Report, and Best Lawyers^®.
