Effective January 1, 2008 CORREIRA & ASSOCIATES was reorganized as CORREIRA & IACONO LLP. We are a regional full-service trusts and estates law firm. Our mission is to provide clients with value, commitment and service.
We concentrate in estate tax planning, trust and estate administration, and estate dispute resolution and trust litigation. We are a boutique firm providing large-firm expertise with small firm client service.
Our lawyers represent bank and corporate trustees in litigation and structured settlements, and represent beneficiaries in will contests, in real estate partition matters and in disputes with private trustees at the probate, superior and appellate court levels. We have negotiated disputes involving the allocation of estate taxes and fiduciary liability and successfully secured court approval for trust reformations. Our work includes protecting family homestead lands by using conservation easements, and helping clients donate to land trusts and apply for tree-farm status.
In our tax practice, we assist private wealth clients in business formations including family limited partnerships, limited liability companies and "S" Corporations, as well as with estate planning and family transactions. We have worked with clients to establish public and private foundations and to create charitable trusts.
Dedicated to keeping up with the ever-changing legal landscape, we regularly lecture in continuing legal education programs for lawyers, CPAs and other financial planning professionals. Committed to our profession, we teach as adjunct faculty at the law school level. We research, write and publish articles in various legal journals. We are often consulted by lawyers across the country on various issues related to trusts, estates, elder law and disability planning. We have appeared pro hac vice in several states to handle complex trust and estate litigation. Internationally, we have consulted with colleagues overseas on succession and tax matters including issues of U.S. domicile involving Florida, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
We work with our clients from offices in Boston and Southeastern Massachusetts; Providence and Newport, Rhode Island; and Naples, Florida as well as a number of affiliate offices in Florida and elsewhere.
Each of our offices and remote visiting locations are fully functional and include video conferencing capabilities. Our systems are completely integrated and include a web-based intranet which allows online collaboration with our colleagues and clients. We also use this system for webconferences and webcasts of seminars and presentations we develop.
