Services

Manley Law is devoted to a single discipline: the preservation and orderly transfer of wealth. The firm does not dilute that focus across unrelated areas of law. It does one thing, at the highest level. 

The firm believes in clarity and honesty – not the billable hour. Therefore, you will not be charged for communicating with me about your estate plan. Manley Law only charges flat, upfront fees for the following services:

  • Revocable and irrevocable trusts, wills, and the advanced structures designed to move appreciation and tax exposure away from an estate and toward those intended to receive it.

  • Counsel for trustees and executors through the administration of trusts and estates.

  • Structuring the transfer of ownership and control — entity design, buy-sell arrangements, and the coordination of the business with the estate plan that surrounds it. 

  • Donor-advised funds, charitable lead and remainder trusts, and private foundation structures that align legacy with the causes meant to outlast it.

  • Estate and succession counsel for the particular assets of a creative career: loan-out corporations, intellectual property, royalties, and residual income. The firm understands these assets because its founder built a career among them.

  • Manley Law works alongside wealth managers and accountants so that legal and financial architectures move as one.
