About Kenneth
Practice areas
- Estate planning: 35%
I focus on all areas of estate planning, from living trust planning to advanced Family Wealth Strategies (sm). PLANNING is the key to what I do. "If you fail to plan (well), plan to fail."

- Tax: 25%
I began my career as an income tax lawyer, and have always emphasized income tax planning with all of my clients. It is an essential part of estate planning. I consider income, estate, gift and property tax issues in helping you plan and structure your estate and business. Often, a carefully planned structure can reduce tax exposure while meeting your vital non-tax goals.

- Trusts: 25%
Customized living trusts form the core of most good estate planning. They let your heirs avoid probate, they let you choose how your assets will be held, managed and distributed when you are gone, and they provide for management and use of your assets if you are incapacitated. Properly drafted, Trusts can also reduce exposure to taxes and liabilities.

- Probate: 15%
When a loved one passes, you need caring help regarding administration of their affairs. If your loved one had substantially all property in trust, you still need trust administration help. If not, we can assist with more formal probate proceedings
