Our Areas of Expertise

Estate Planning is about protecting your future, as well as the future of your loved ones. A comprehensive plan ensures your wealth is distributed how you prefer, reduces death and inheritance taxes, establishes advocates to oversee your health care and safeguards minor dependents. Without a plan, the state is in control of these major decisions upon your death. We customize all planning documents for your specific needs and reduce the choices that loved ones need to make during an emotional time.

Probate courts are tasked with validating an individual’s Will upon death. Only with the court’s approval can the distribution of assets begin. If an individual does not have a Will, an administrator of the estate must be accepted by the court to oversee activities of the estate. The best way to ensure that the wishes outlined in your estate planning documents are carried out correctly and most expeditiously is to work with a probate attorney. Our attorneys are well versed in the probate process and are ready to help.

Families caring for special needs loved ones face many challenges, including navigating insurance benefits, identifying programs for social needs and assessing the financial ability to pay for the specialized care required. These issues do not end when the primary caretaker is no longer able to provide the care. Long-term planning documents map out housing needs, identify care providers and help secure the financial assets to be used to pay for extended care. We have resources to help us develop a plan that fits your needs.

Tax attorneys focus on ways to reduce or defer taxes based on an individual’s income or activities. Almost every movement of money or property has a tax implication. This complex area of the law requires experienced professionals to oversee the various wealth transfer taxes, which include the gift, estate and generation skipping transfer taxes. An attorney will also help clients deal with tax controversies. Our attorneys have decades of experience with tax planning and are ready to map a strategy for you.

2024 Tax Year Estate Planning Related Tax Exemption Figures as Adjusted for Inflation

While high inflation is generally bad for the economy, the upside is that various tax figures adjust upwards for inflation on an annual (or other) basis. Because of such high inflation during 2023, we reap the rewards of higher-than-normal increases in various estate planning related tax exemption figures for tax year 2024.

Estate planning is an intimidating process but Richard worked to educate us on the different processes and help us come to a conclusion in a smooth/nonthreatening way. The law jargon and terminology still intimidate and confuse me but the process was a lot smoother thanks to him! I fully trust in his work and find his demeanor to be professional and relatable.read more

We recently selected Morgan and DiSalvo to prepare a comprehensive estate plan. We worked directly with Richard Morgan through the entire process. Richard took the time to listen to our needs and our desires to establish a complete estate plan. Richard developed a number of different options available to accomplish our objectives while providing excellent guidance, both from a legal and personal level on the pros and cons of the available options. The depth and breadth of knowledge of the legal requirements was epic. Richard developed a framework for our estate plan and then completed all of the associated documentation. The overall process and interaction were very professional with consistent guidance on how to proceed. I would highly recommend Morgan and DiSalvo for your estate planning needs. They have a comprehensive portfolio of solutions that can tailored to fit any estate planning needs.read more

Loraine’s firm did both my estate plan and my Dad’s back in the day, and we were very satisfied with that work. But she really showed her skills and experience when my Dad passed away and she guided me through my responsibilities as executor. She spent a lot of time helping me understand what needed to be done overall. And then she was very patient in letting me do what I was capable of (guiding as needed), and stepping in herself when necessary. I know she and her firm could have handled everything, but she helped me save a lot of money for the beneficiaries, which I greatly appreciated. It was an outstanding experience during a stressful time, and I’m a huge fan.read more

I was concerned about being able to find someone to do my estate planning on such late notice, but I did not want to have a risky surgery without a will and advance directive for healthcare in place. Despite being very busy, Loraine responded to my request for help with my estate immediately, and worked hard and efficiently to have my documents written and signed before my surgery.I cannot thank Loraine enough for her assistance, and highly recommend Morgan and Disalvo, P.C. for anyone's estate planning needs.read more

Our estate planning evolved making sure each of our grown children would receive their portion of our estate based upon their individual needs at various a times in their lives and also provide for our grandchildren at the appropriate time. We discovered that the best way to do this is via revocable living trusts and the other documentation involved to protect us now and our descendants after our passing. Richard Morgan was able to walk us through the process and was very patient with our questions and recognized our needs as a trusted advisor. I highly recommend Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.read more

Knowing nothing about the law, they patiently answered my many, many questions, sometimes multiple times. This was a very emotional experience for me since I have cancer and my son is mentally ill, and they walked me through it with grace and ease.

There are companies out there who charge virtually nothing to do a simple will online, but you're putting yourself and your assets at great risk by not hiring an attorney who knows the laws in your state to do your estate planning properly. Yes, estate planning can be a daunting process, which is why a lot of people (like us) put it off endlessly, but it's absolutely necessary. Once we made the decision to plan for our futures and the futures of our children, we searched for reviews of local estate planning attorneys and quickly found Loraine DiSalvo and all her glowing reviews.Based on our experience working with Loraine, she 100% earned every glowing review. The initial free consultation was far more thorough than we expected. Loraine is an expert who has thought of everything, and she helped to guide us through the decision making process with the tough questions we needed to consider. We ended the initial consult by leaving a deposit. We were told there was a several-month pipeline to get our estate planning paperwork done. This is a good thing for two reasons: 1) the last thing you want in any expert is someone who's sitting on their hands waiting for work; and 2) it gave us the opportunity to think of and ask any other questions we didn't think of initially.The timing for completing our estate planning docs came in right on target. We went to the office to meet with Loraine again, where she took the time to answer any remaining questions and explain, in painstaking detail, what each paper was and why things were worded in the way they were.Loraine and all her staff were incredibly professional every step of the way, up to and including the way the signed papers were delivered to us - overnight, in a binder, fully organized.I cannot possibly give a higher recommendation for this law firm. If you want to do estate planning (and you NEED to do estate planning), this is unquestionably the right firm to get it done.read more

Mr. Morgan and his entire team walked me through the process of Will preparation and made sure I was informed and comfortable throughout. I particularly was grateful for being kept in the loop by having draft documents sent to me for review in a secured electronic folder. As a former attorney, it is clear that Mr. Morgan knows Georgia Estate Planning law inside and out, and I would not hesitate to recommend his firm's services to others. One final note - many attorneys forget they are attorneys AND counselors at law. Especially when it comes to this focus area of the law, that second part is very important when it comes to hiring a professional to assist you. Mr. Morgan clearly understands this, and it makes all the difference in the world.read more

We are so very pleased with the result of our experience with Morgan and DiSalvo in general and Richard Morgan in particular. From our initial meeting to discuss our needs to the completion and signing our documents, we felt that not only were our questions being answered but were given options to address questions we never even considered. Our situation required addressing a number of "what if's", many we were of aware of but even more so, things we were unaware of! Richard's knowledge and experience have given us the peace of mind we wanted dealing with our wills and estate. We are confident that our planning needs and wishes have been met. We have recommended Morgan and DiSalvo to all our friends in need of estate planning, wills and trusts.Robert and Eva Krugmanread more

Richard Morgan evaluated our estate situation with our specific needs in mind. He reviewed our previous estate documents and focused on our priorities. He is quite knowledgeable and current with regard to estate law and has invested a great deal of time and effort to build a web site that is educational for the consumer. His communication is clear, direct and effective. His staff is courteous and friendly. He updated and amended living revocable trusts for our family and created wills, powers of attorney and healthcare directives. He made the process straightforward and was able to communicate his strategy in ways that were quite understandable to the average layperson. We felt that we were in excellent hands throughout the process. Our advice: Do your homework before selecting a good estate attorney, as we did. We highly recommend Richard Morgan.read more

My wife and I went to Richard not knowing what to do, or who to contact regarding our planning for the parts of life no one wants to talk about. Just a few minutes in, we realized we had hired the right person. Not only did he explain everything that they would do, but he walked us through scenarios and expanded scenarios to ensure that we were given the best possible plan to meet our needs. He walked us through each step, and I will admit, we must have been annoying. We had so many questions, and he answered them all. He did it honestly, and quickly. He responded to our emails very quickly, and made us feel very comfortable. That is hard to do when you are talking about such emotional issues. When all was said and done, we felt very proud that we had taken the necessary actions to ensure our family will be taken care of if something terrible were ever to happen.read more

We hired Richard and his team to do our Estate and Trust work. Here are the key highlights:We phone screened 10 firms that were recommended or had great reviews online. We then interviews 3 in person. We selected Richard because he was knowledgeable, passionate, responsive, and had a very well organized office manager.Richard’s price was about 25-50% higher than the other firms we interviewed but we clearly saw the expertise and personal customization he offered to make the documents do what we wanted. We are frugal people but we saw a huge difference in his strategies and approach.He exceeded our expectations in every way and was well worth the fee he charged. Specifically, he gave us unlimited time and patiently explained his process and thinking in terms we could understand, answered long emails with complete and detailed responses, made sure he was clear on our intent, helped us vet corporate trustees, and coached us through several difficult decisions about our family.Richard and his partner Lorraine have deep subject mater expertise that I am sure will save our family millions of dollars in taxes.He gave us real confidence about our estate plan. We will continue to work with Richard as our family grows.Great lawyer. Great team. Great service. Great work. Great value.Real customer.read more

I went to Loraine DiSalvo to revise my trust and other estate documents. She was very personable and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. She kept up to date on all the tax law changes that were under review in congress and how those might affect my situation. She took the time to get to know my situation and me and spent time in the office, on the phone and in email exchanges to answer all my questions. I received much better counsel from her than my previous estate lawyer and am very happy with the service I received. Her staff is also great. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her firm.read more
