Bond's Trust and Estate attorneys are skilled at working with clients to identify their unique needs and create plans that meet those needs. Our customized plans include designing wills, trusts, beneficiary designations and other documents needed to transfer and protect assets. Bond also works with small business owners to design and implement business succession plans.

Our clients range from individuals of modest wealth to those of significant wealth, from younger clients building a career to older clients who have already amassed their wealth, from clients who are professionals or employees of larger entities to those involved in family businesses. We strive for an ongoing relationship knowing that family needs change and estate plans evolve.

Extending our trust and estate practice areas beyond families, we also counsel fiduciaries, owners of closely held businesses, and other charitable and tax-exempt organizations. Our services in these areas include preparation of estate & income tax returns, accountings, preparation of a wide range of business agreements, and the formation and administration of charitable trusts and private foundations. We also assist clients in a wide range of court proceedings in all courts throughout New York and Florida.
