Legal Services

Wyoming trust attorney Matthew Grupp designs strategies—from foundational estate planning to advanced estate tax and asset protection—so that you can confidently transfer your family’s wealth to those you love. If The Grupp Law Firm can assist your family by serving in one of the following roles, please contact us.

Revocable Living Trust Formation

The foundation of most estate plans is a revocable living trust. A revocable living trust (RLT) can help you distribute your estate and establish your end-of-life wishes. It also may allow you to avoid probate, which is often a time-consuming and expensive process. RLTs provide other benefits, such as health care planning. A trust attorney will tailor revocable living trusts to the unique situations associated with each family and its wealth. The Grupp Law Firm is happy to serve clients in Wyoming and Idaho who wish to form a revocable living trust.

Asset Protection Planning

Many professionals whose careers involve a large amount of personal liability worry that they may be sued.  Asset protection planning is proactive legal action, which safeguards your assets from unjust loss. For example, loss could occur due to catastrophes, potential creditors, litigants, children’s spouses and potential ex-spouses. The Grupp Law Firm helps clients across the country identify and prepare for these situations with the Wyoming qualified spendthrift trust (also known as the Wyoming domestic asset protection trust).

Wyoming LLC Formation

Wyoming’s favorable Limited Liability Company (LLC) laws make it an attractive state for creating business entities. If properly structured and maintained, Wyoming LLCs may provide increased privacy and liability protections for business owners. The Grupp Law Firm forms LLCs for clients when the LLCs form part of a larger asset protection strategy.

Advanced Estate and Gift Tax Planning

A successful estate plan often requires sophisticated strategies and extensive knowledge of best practices. These strategies minimize your tax burden, protect your assets, and plan for your family and wealth. Our team has decades of experience in these areas. We provide these services for your family to build its multi-generation legacy.

Private Family Trust Companies

Many ultra-high-net-worth families want the asset protection, tax, and estate planning benefits afforded by trusts. However, they are not happy with their options of a corporate or individual trustee. Wyoming is one of a few US jurisdictions that allow a private family trust company to serve as trustee over the family’s trusts. Wyoming private family trust companies permit families to retain significant control over trust administration, policies and procedures, and, ultimately, their family Wealth. There are benefits and important requirements for the Wyoming private trust company that an attorney can advise on.

Business Law

At The Grupp Law Firm LLC, we have extensive experience counseling clients on the business lifecycle. We provide our clients with the analysis and knowledge necessary to aid them through each step of the business organization process. Additionally, we design business exit strategies, help clients move towards a successful sale, and assist with estate and tax planning after the sale.

Trustee Advisory Services

You may find yourself a trustee of a revocable living trust and need a trusted attorney to advise you in your duties. In order to ensure that you are properly carrying out your fiduciary duties, we provide trustee advisory services.
