Our Clients Are Treated Like Family

Shaker Heights Estate Planning Lawyers

Welcome to Russo, Rosalina & Co., LPA, a family-owned and operated general practice law firm that has proudly served the legal needs of Northeast Ohio since its establishment in 1978. We treat our clients like family, providing trusted legal counsel and personalized attention to help you secure your legacy.

We understand the unique and sophisticated estate planning needs of families residing in the historic estates of Malvern, the expansive properties near Mercer County or the multigenerational homes in the Shaker Lakes district. Residents in these specific areas often have the most complex estate needs due to high property valuations and inherited wealth.

Our goal is to serve as a high-authority partner for your family’s complex financial and legal needs, focusing on tax efficiency, asset protection and long-term legacy management.

What Matters Can Our Shaker Heights Estate Planning Attorneys Handle?

Our Shaker Heights estate planning attorneys can handle a comprehensive range of legal matters to protect your assets and execute your exact wishes. We provide professional, knowledgeable and informative counsel for the following:

  • Powers of attorney: We can draft robust legal documents that designate a trusted individual to make financial and health care decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
  • Revocable trusts: We help you establish sophisticated, private contracts that allow for confidential asset distribution while maintaining your control and privacy.
  • Wills: We meticulously draft and review wills to ensure your assets are distributed exactly as you intend.
  • Estate planning for blended families: We face the unique complexities and sensitivities of blended families to ensure fair distribution and protect all of your loved ones.
  • Asset protection: We use strategic legal tools to shield your multigenerational wealth and ensure the long-term integrity of your estate.
  • Tax planning: We design comprehensive strategies geared toward tax efficiency and mitigating tax exposure on your estate.
  • Health care directives: We help you formally outline your medical preferences so your specific health care wishes are honored in emergencies.
  • Business succession planning: For owners of family-held businesses, we create structured succession plans to protect your life’s work and transition ownership seamlessly.

Our experienced attorneys work directly with our clients, helping them understand their rights and make informed decisions. They work with clients in Lakewood, Beachwood, Broadview Heights, Mentor, Shaker Heights and Pepper Pike.

How Does Ohio Handle Out-Of-State Property?

Handling out-of-state property – such as vacation homes – requires strategic planning, as Ohio probate laws generally only govern property located within the state. Without proper planning, out-of-state real estate can trigger complicated ancillary probate proceedings in multiple jurisdictions.

At Russo, Rosalina & Co., LPA, we have the proven ability to seamlessly manage multistate real estate holdings for you. By utilizing specific legal instruments like trusts, our firm can streamline the management of these properties, ensuring your assets are protected and easily transferred to your beneficiaries.
