In addition, Mr. Wohlfarth practices in the area of probate and estate administration, which includes preparing federal estate and state inheritance tax returns and assisting with all probate court requirements. Mr. Wohlfarth has also assisted clients with the preparation of federal and state income tax returns for individuals, trusts, and estates.
