How Elizabeth Helps Clients

Elizabeth is a tax attorney who focuses on advising high net worth families and charitable organizations.

Elizabeth advises families on the tax-efficient accumulation, management and transfer of wealth, particularly in connection with closely held businesses and other valued assets, such as fine art and other collectibles. In addition to an in-depth knowledge of tax law, Elizabeth takes the time to listen and learn about family dynamics and to understand each family’s unique relationship with their wealth so that the resulting plan is tailored to the family’s needs. 

No two families are the same, so no two estate plans should be the same.

Elizabeth also works closely with private foundations and public charities, advising on a wide variety of issues, including grant making, program-related investments, planned giving programs and public-private partnerships. 

Elizabeth has earned a National Association of Estate Planners & Councils Accredited Estate Planner (AEP) Designation.* The AEP® designation is awarded by the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils to recognize estate planning professionals who meet stringent requirements of experience, knowledge, education, professional reputation and character.
