Estate Planning
VAL Law provides its clients the maximum benefits available from the possession and use of their property, both real and personal, and enable them to manage and transfer those properties to surviving family members, or their desired beneficiaries, with minimal exposure from applicable estate taxes and other property transfer costs. VAL Law works with its clients to determine the objectives of their property distribution during their lifetime, including gifts and donations to their children and other younger generations of family members, as well as the disposition of the estate at death. This exercise includes the implementation of the most efficient and cost-effective structure given the inventory of properties through the creation of trust arrangements, incorporation of new companies, and transfer of the properties thereto, among others.
VAL Law’s Estate Planning practice is headed by Atty. Reginald Anton J. Puno and Atty. Timothy Joseph N. Lumauig, both having several years of experience gained from their prior stints in their prior firms where they represented, and continue to represent, the wealthiest individuals and/or their families in the Philippines, together with their business interests.
