At the Law Office of Robert Aufseeser LLC, we help individuals, families, fiduciaries, and business owners navigate important legal and tax matters with clarity and confidence. We take the time to understand not only the immediate issue, but also the client’s broader goals, family circumstances, and long-term priorities. That perspective allows us to provide advice tailored to the client rather than forcing every matter into the same formula.
We combine experienced legal judgment with modern technology and efficient processes to deliver practical advice, responsive service, and carefully considered solutions. Whenever appropriate, we offer flat-fee or clearly defined billing arrangements so that clients understand the anticipated scope and cost of our work before moving forward.
Legal and tax issues rarely become easier when ignored. Whether you are planning for the future, administering an estate, addressing a business or tax concern, or confronting an unexpected problem, taking the first step can make the situation more manageable. Contact us to discuss whether we may be able to assist and to learn what the next steps may involve.
We advise S corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and closely held businesses on federal and state tax planning, entity selection, formation, restructuring, and business transactions. We also prepare and review operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and other contracts designed to address ownership, management, and tax considerations.
We help individuals, families, and business owners create practical estate plans designed to protect assets, reduce unnecessary taxes and expenses, and provide clear instructions for the future. Planning may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, beneficiary planning, and business succession strategies.
We represent executors, trustees, beneficiaries, and other interested parties in contested estate and trust matters, including will contests, fiduciary disputes, contested accountings, claims of undue influence, and disputes involving the administration, interpretation, or distribution of estate and trust assets, including complex and high-value estates.
We advise clients on estate and gift tax planning, New Jersey inheritance tax, Forms 706 and 709, portability, valuation issues, and related tax audits and examinations. Our focus is on practical strategies that reduce tax exposure, preserve wealth, and address complex tax issues before they become costly problems.
