    • Tax and Estate Planning Attorney
      • Sep 2020 - Present

      I prepare wills and trusts, assist individuals and businesses with tax and estate planning, establish business entities, and advise on complex tax matters. I conduct trust accountings, handle state tax appeals, and represent families in fiduciary litigation.I have presented on the Corporate Transparency Act and have testified before the Alaska Legislature on proposed changes to the Alaska Trust Code. My practice centers on estate planning, ranging from simple wills to complex grantor and non-grantor trust arrangements. To the extent I have a focus within the field, it is on regulatory compliance and business succession planning.
