Thomas J. Mohan’s practice is focused on assisting clients with wealth preservation and wealth transfer planning. He designs estate and business plans to minimize transfer taxes and to provide optimum protection for the client’s heirs. The ultimate goal is to keep the family assets in the family. Frequently these plans involve a strategic transfer of a family-owned business. When business ownership transfers to the next generation, Tom employs creative approaches to maximize flexibility and design a plan which is equitable for all the client’s intended heirs.
"I seek to represent every individual and family with the same level of attention and service that I would desire for my own family.”
Thomas J. Mohan
Over 20 years of practice, Tom has witnessed the positive results of careful advanced planning. Estate plans he designed have resulted in significant reductions -- and in some cases the complete elimination -- of estate taxes. He has provided families with documents and counsel that later brought them through the crisis of the death or disability of a loved one.
"When a family goes through the challenges that come with the death or incapacity of someone they love, there is a marked difference between those who are prepared and those who are unprepared. My goal is to bring as many individuals and families as possible into the prepared group.”
