Wealth transfer and trust planning form another important part of his practice, including multi-generational trust design and succession strategies. He frequently advises fiduciaries and beneficiaries on trust and estate administration matters, including fiduciary accounting, trust modification and decanting, and tax compliance.

He also participates in fiduciary administration disputes and related probate and trust litigation, advising fiduciaries and family enterprises on tax-sensitive dispute resolution, fiduciary duties, valuation issues, and contested administration matters.
