About Kristin
Biography
Kristin Wildman Shirahama advises individuals and families on estate, gift and income tax planning. She also advises trustees, guardians, and other fiduciaries in trust and estate administration.
Kristin brings a wealth of experience to the preparation of estate plans, including blended families, second marriages, and same-sex couples, and families with elders, disabilities or other special needs. While minimizing taxes is a key component, there is more to estate planning than saving taxes. An appropriate plan must address the particular needs of a client’s family.
