Estate & Tax Planning


Federalist soldier, judge, and real estate investor John Marshall wrote in 1819 that “the power to tax is the power to destroy.”  The possession of property, according to Georg W.F. Hegel, is “a mark of the free man.”  (Landes and Posner, The Economic Structure of Intellectual Property Law (2003) at 4). Read together, these statements suggest that the power to tax is the power to destroy free people.  Property can be shaped into many forms, and cut into many pieces, ideally taking on forms  and ownership qualities that will comply with any estate taxes designed to take it away and to use it according to the substitute judgment of public employees, who will then decide how your material blessings will be spent. We assist clients interested in exercising their own God-given free will over their own private property before and after they are dead.

The Resurrection Arranging a client's business interests upon death is another important part of our work, when their spirit loses control of any hard assets:

    Past and Present, God's will prevails.
    Hence, understanding is always best
    and a prudent mind.
    Whoever remains for long
    here in this earthly life
    will enjoy and endure more than enough.


    (Beowulf, lines 1057-1061, Seamus Heaney,  tr. 2008)
