Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Edgar Law Group offer? +

Edgar Law Group provides legal services in three primary areas: tax law and IRS resolution (including audits, appeals, tax court, offers in compromise, and criminal tax defense), estate planning (wills, trusts, probate, powers of attorney), and bankruptcy protection (Chapter 7 and Chapter 13).

How does the tax resolution process work? +

Edgar Law Group follows a four-step process: (1) Free consultation to review your tax situation and develop a strategy, (2) Investigation to gather documents and identify resolution options, (3) Negotiation with the IRS on your behalf, and (4) Resolution and ongoing compliance support.

How long does it take to resolve IRS problems? +

The text does not provide specific timelines for IRS resolution. The duration depends on the complexity of your tax situation and the resolution method chosen (audit, offer in compromise, payment plan, etc.).

What should I do if I receive an IRS audit notice? +

If you receive an audit letter, Edgar Law Group can represent you throughout the audit process, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible outcome with pre-audit preparation, document organization, and representation at audit meetings.

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy? +

Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy (3-6 months) that provides the fastest debt relief with most unsecured debts eliminated and no payment plan required. Chapter 13 is a reorganization bankruptcy (3-5 years) that allows you to keep all property, stop foreclosure, and catch up on missed payments through an affordable payment plan.

What's the difference between a will and a trust? +

The text indicates that properly structured trusts allow your estate to pass to heirs without expensive and time-consuming probate, while wills require the probate process. Trusts offer advantages in avoiding probate and controlling distribution of assets.

What estate planning documents do I need? +

Edgar Law Group provides comprehensive estate planning services including wills and trusts, power of attorney (financial and healthcare), healthcare directives, and guardianship planning for minor children or incapacitated adults.

Does Edgar Law Group offer free consultations? +

Yes, Edgar Law Group offers free initial consultations to discuss your case and explore your legal options with no obligation.
