Trust & Estate Advice

Kjirstin was extremely helpful in re-writing several trusts that had been previously establish to take into consideration all relevant changes in trust tax law. She made numerous suggestions which were both thoughtful and relevant given both, the changes in the tax code thereby protecting the trusts ...from potential challenges from any tax court and changes in our objectives in establishing the trusts in the first place.. Additionally, she advised my wife and me on establishing a Living Trust for all of the various assets we own for probate protection and minimization of tax liability stemming from inheritance issues. Her work was both timely and cost efficient and as a result we would highly recommend her to others and will continue to use her when needed.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
