Law and Corporations: At Blake & Pulsifer we are committed to supporting Arizona’s small business owners at every stage of the small business cycle. Whether it’s entity selection, business acquisition, leases, operational contracts, employee issues, growth strategies or exit strategies, we can provide cost effective and practical legal solutions. For instance, we can take the guess work out of entity selection and business formation by taking the time to understand our clients’ long term goals and values. When acquiring an existing business, our clients rely on us to guide them through the maze of negotiations, due diligence, financing and closing. We encourage our clients to take care of their valuable business relationships–appropriate organizational documentation and buy/sell agreements can be crucial to maintaining amicable relationships between partners. Likewise, proper operational contracts with vendors, employees, clients and landlords are extremely important to set expectations and avoid time consuming and costly disputes. Finally, when the time comes to sell a business or pass the legacy to the next generation, Blake & Pulsifer can help to ensure a smooth transition. |

and Trusts: Proper estate planning can and should be an integral part of the small business owner’s strategy. After all, what is the point of building a legacy if you can’t protect it for the benefit of future generations? At Blake &Pulsifer we understand how to preserve your hard earned success for the benefit your loved ones. Through the use of family trusts, irrevocable trusts, wills, powers of attorney, living wills, beneficiary deeds, limited liability companies and other structures, we can help you to protect and preserve your assets on your terms. Specifically, with proper planning our clients can avoid the pitfalls of incapacity and probate. Moreover, they can rest assured that their assets will pass to their loved ones and beneficiaries, as and when they direct. Finally, we can guide our clients through the labyrinth of the ever changing federal estate tax code and eliminate or significantly reduce federal estate taxes. |

Probate
and Trust Administration: The death of a loved one is always traumatic. Unfortunately, the person closest to the decedent generally bears the burden of administering the estate. At times, this burden can be overwhelming, and costly mistakes are often made. At Blake & Pulsifer we strive to bring a personal and companionate touch to estate administration. Our experience has shown that taking the time to fully explain the process and providing the client with specific goals and tasks brings the job into focus. In short, we understand the legal and personal issues and will do everything possible to simplify the administration and reduce the burden to the family. |
