What do you focus on?

Having focused my practice on estate and trust administration in the early part of my career, I work with clients to create custom estate plans that reflect my experience and their individual and family planning and wealth transfer goals and implement time-tested techniques to reduce and/or eliminate transfer taxes and avoid probate. In so doing, I am able to identify measures that will not only allow my clients plans to work as intended but keep things as simple and efficient as possible for their loved ones. I also assist fiduciaries with estate and trust administration processes, including guiding personal representatives through the probate process, advising trustees on the management and distribution of trust assets, and recommending (to both) best practices to help avoid costly and time-consuming litigation.
