Estate Planning and Probate for Families in Coastal Georgia

Estate Planning ● Asset Protection ● Medicaid Planning ● Trusts ●
Charitable Legacy Planning ● Probate 

Have You Updated Your Estate Plan Recently?

Tax laws are constantly changing in ways that require more sophisticated estate plans. Circumstances in your life—a divorce, a remarriage, a new child, or changes in charitable priorities—can also make a review of your estate plan essential.

As your estate planning attorney, I am always up-to-date on the latest changes in the tax law and how this may affect your estate or asset protection plan. I can efficiently help you review and revise your estate plan. Contact my Savannah law office to schedule a free initial consultation.

Estate Planning Update:

Did you know that the death benefit of a life insurance policy is included in the estate of the owner?

Many people think that because their net worth is less than $2 million that they will not be subject to the estate tax. But they usually do not consider the death benefit of the life insurance they own when calculating their net worth.

Unfortunately, life insurance benefits often cause modest estates to surpass the $2 million threshold, creating an estate tax liability. Call us today to learn how you can avoid this result.

National Christian Foundation

I am a referral attorney for the National Christian Foundation, an organization that provides innovative, flexible giving solutions to help individuals and families make a greater impact with their charitable giving.

Serving clients across coastal Georgia

Savannah Estate Planning, part of The Murray Nellis Law Group, L.L.P., provides knowledgeable and caring legal guidance to help individuals and families achieve their estate planning, asset protection, and charitable giving goals, as well as probating Georgia estates. I invite you to contact my law office now to schedule a free initial consultation.

I'm attorney Gil Nellis. As a long-time Georgia resident, I understand the values of family and community that motivate people to begin planning for their own futures and their children's futures. I ensure my clients' goals are met using a variety of estate and tax planning tools to:

  • Planning to protect your assets from future creditors
  • Transfer assets from one generation to the next with minimal tax liability
  • Ensure medical and educational needs are met
  • Care for elderly or disabled family members
  • Care for minor children
  • Communicate instructions for medical care or end-of-life care
  • Give decision-making authority to a trusted person in times of crisis
  • Transfer the management of a family business
  • Protect your assets from excess taxation

I work with a wide range of clients, from families with young children and few assets to established couples with business interests and estates worth $1 million or more.

What my diverse clients have in common is a need for sound legal advice from an estate planning lawyer who can help them make wise decisions. That is what I provide.

Advanced Law Degree in Estate Planning and Taxation

In addition to my law degree, I have an advanced legal degree specifically in estate planning and taxation (LL.M.) from the University of Miami. I have extensive knowledge of tax law, international taxation, and asset protection strategies.

I am a member of the Savannah Estate Planning Council and the Leimberg Network of estate planners. These professional memberships ensure I am always current on ever-changing tax laws.

I invite you to contact my law office to learn more about ways you can protect your assets and your family. For your convenience, I accept daytime, evening, and weekend appointments at my office or your home.
