    • Credit Shelter Trusts
    • GRATs
    • SLATs
    • Irrevocable Trusts
    • Lifetime gifting strategies
  • Advise clients on federal and New York State estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax implications
  • Prepare and review Federal Estate Tax Returns (Form 706)
  • Prepare and review New York State Estate Tax Returns
  • Develop wealth transfer strategies designed to minimize estate and gift tax exposure
  • Coordinate closely with accountants and financial advisors on tax planning implementation
  • Counsel clients on lifetime planning, succession planning, and asset protection
  • Ensure compliance with evolving federal and state tax law
Qualifications
  • Active member in good standing with the New York State Bar
  • 4–6 years of concentrated experience in estate planning
  • Demonstrated experience handling federally taxable estates
  • Direct experience preparing Federal and New York State estate tax returns
  • Strong drafting skills in sophisticated trust structures
  • Solid understanding of current federal and NY estate tax laws
  • Strong attention to detail and client-facing communication skills
