Kenneth A. Ziskin

I contacted Ken on behalf of my Parents who want to gift property to my brother and myself. There's a family trust to consider and the value of the properties and the estate, etc. Ken was very conscientious about the parties involved and tax considerations. I realized I was talking to a genuinely ...good guy. I will not hesitate to contact him for additional estate matters.

We have some rental properties that are the source of our income. Our family situation is complicated and we needed our trust to provide for our daughter and her family but prevent her from being able to make any unwise financial decisions. Ken worked tirelessly with us on achieving our goals and mak...ing sure that we understood all the intricacies. When we wanted to make some revisions, he was again diligent in making sure that we were making smart decisions. He put in so much time and effort that we were in disbelief when there was no additional fee for his work. I can’t imagine an attorney more caring or dedicated to helping us create the trust we need.

As soon as I finished reading Kenneth Ziskin's article in the Oct. issue of AOA Magazine, I decided to give him a call. GREAT decision! My husband and I own a 6 unit apt. building and are the typical mom & pop landlords. We worked very hard all of our lives hoping to leave our two children with th...e property. Naturally, with the passage of Prop 19, we were extremely worried about how this would affect our children's inheritance upon our deaths. If you have these concerns, please don't hesitate to give Ken a call. He is extremely knowledgeable about his profession, and knows what he is talking about. He can give you great advice! He made me feel as if I had known him for years. Thanks again Kenneth Ziskin, -Isabel B

I have read some of Ken’s articles in Apartment Owners’ Association magazine and decided to call him. I own a house that I would like to sell to my granddaughter and achieve as much tax savings as possible. I left that brief message on Ken’s answering machine not really expecting to hear back. ...Shortly afterward, I received a call from Ken during which we discussed my goals. Ken outlined to me a path we could pursue which I hadn’t previously considered. The next day I had a second phone conversation with Ken expressing some of my concerns. He felt sure we could dispel my concerns and achieve my goal . If I decide to go forward we will draw up a proposal and proceed. During my conversations with Ken, he was always interested in my needs, achieving my goal and maintaining my comfort level. Should I decide to go forward, I know that Ken will be a pleasure to work with and his extensive knowledge of real estate law, will lead me on the best possible path.
