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

great consultation

After reading a fine article Mr. Ziskin wrote in the Apartment Owners Association magazine, I called his office to arrange a consultation. He returned my call promptly and then spent considerable time speaking with me. He demonstrated a depth of knowledge on estate planning and trusts that reassure...d me that I was getting really sound advice. Mr. Ziskin was easy to speak with and he communicated in non-legaleze, taking the time to be sure I understood the information he gave me. I feel confident his advice directed me in the proper direction and will serve me and my family very well. I recommend him highly.

Knowledgable, Honest, Friendly

Had the pleasure of speaking with Ken on the phone. Very knowledgeable and nice. Took the time to speak with me about an issue my wife and I are having with a tenant. Ken is one of the good ones.

Posted by Shaun | April 14, 2016 | Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Wonderful insightful input

I spoke with Ken about an informal question in regards to LLCs and income property. I was astounded about the insight and depth of knowledge. I have heard other attorneys speak and therefore have some understanding. However Ken clearly knew much more than the usual attorney. I look forward to wor...king with Ken in the near future.

Antiquated Trust Revisited

My husband and I have been looking for years to restate our much needed Trust. After listening to Ken at a HOA Seminar I rushed home and told my husband I found our lawyer. Within a week we were sitting in his office listening and questioning him about our needs and concerns. We liked what we heard.... We felt he had the knowledge and expertise in all the areas we needed--Law, Trust, and Real Estate. We had no fear or regrets in retaining Ken to do the job. We were very pleased and Impressed with the final result. A great experience! We feel we've found a new friend and confidant!
