Attorney and inactive CPA Allan (Al) T. Young advised business owners and other individuals on estate planning, estate and trust administration, taxation, and business matters.
Al kept a practical focus on developing and implementing clients’ estate plans to achieve the clients’ goals while minimizing income and estate taxes and the cost of administration. Among Al’s techniques are timely succession planning, estate freezes, creative trust use, charitable transfers, targeted lifetime gifting, proper beneficiary designations, and asset titling. As a corollary to his estate planning services, Al represented personal representatives and trustees administering decedents’ assets, including through the use of available tax elections and disclaimers.
Al also had a substantial federal and state tax practice for individuals and businesses. In addition to successful tax minimization planning and preparing tax returns, Al has successfully represented dozens of clients in federal and state tax audits.
