Succession Planning, Trusts & Estates

Building Strategies, Preserving Legacies

Planning for the future is about more than documents — it’s about protecting what you’ve built, providing for the people you love, and ensuring your wishes are honored. At Hyland Levin Shapiro, we take that responsibility seriously.


We help families and business owners plan for the future, manage transitions, and resolve disputes with confidence. Whether you are preparing an estate plan, administering a loved one’s affairs, or protecting a family business for the next generation, our attorneys provide clear, practical guidance at every step.

We serve entrepreneurs, executives, multigenerational families, and closely held businesses in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Clients value not just our legal knowledge, but the commitment we bring to anticipating challenges, minimizing conflict, and crafting strategies that carry forward both wealth and values.

Our work spans the full spectrum of succession planning and estate matters, including:

  • Business planning and succession strategies
  • Estate planning, wills, trusts, and tax considerations
  • Probate and estate administration
  • Trust and estate litigation, including will contests and fiduciary disputes

By its nature, planning touches on many aspects of business and personal life, so we collaborate closely with colleagues in corporate, real estate, taxation, and litigation, as well as our clients’ accounting, insurance, and investment advisors, to deliver customized comprehensive solutions for these issues. Our cross-disciplinary approach allows us to craft forward-looking plans and, when necessary, advocate forcefully in disputes to protect both personal and business interests.


From planning to resolution, we’re here to guide you through every stage of succession and estate matters with steady counsel and care.
