I am an experienced attorney dedicated to helping clients successfully memorialize their end of life wishes and adequately prepare for their possible incapacitation. I follow a "boutique firm" format that allows me to provide clients meaningful personalized services.. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and graduated from Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor Law School in December of 1992.. I started as a law clerk at the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office right after I graduated from law school and began handling cases as soon as I passed the bar exam in the spring of 1993. As a public defender, I was in court litigating almost every day. By the time I left the Public Defender's office I was training and supervising new recruits.. In 1999 I left government work for private practice. I had enjoyed family law classes in school and found the transition easy and the new area of practice a good fit. My degree and experience in psychology have also been a tremendous resource. It was then that I realized how many of my clients were running into problems because of poor or no end of life planning. And I fell in love with yet another area of law: estate planning (probate, trust administration and adult guardianship)!. Through my 31 years of practice I have been involved in many Arizona State Bar committees, a Supreme Court committee, as well as other law related organizations, such as Los Abogados. As an estate planning attorney, I find the State Bar Probate and Trust Section a tremendous resource.

Firm: Fennemore Craig PC

2394 E Camelback Rd Ste 600 , Phoenix , Arizona 85016

Practice Areas: Business Formation, Estate Planning, Probate , Trusts

My practice focus is estate planning for ultra high-net-worth inviduals and families, including charitable giving and business formation and structuring. I counsel clients on wealth transfer strategies, including the use of revocable trusts, irrevocable life insurance and gifting trusts, family limited partnerships and LLCs, qualified personal residence trusts, grantor retained annuity trusts, installment sales to grantor trusts, and other sophisticated tax planning techniques. As an adjunct to my estate planning practice, I advise clients on planned giving methods, and establishing charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, private foundations, support foundations, public charities, and other tax-exempt organizations and charitable-giving mechanisms. I also advise trustees and executors on their fiduciary responsibilities and tax implications in the administration and distribution of trusts and probate estates. In designing estate and business plans, I apply an integrated approach enabling clients to reduce personal and business liability exposure, minimize tax consequences, and meet multi-generational family objectives. Estate planning documents and business succession plans can be tailored to provide incentives to beneficiaries and successors (such as children and grandchildren) to become productive and contributing members of society. Incorporating each client’s unique family dynamic into such planning is emphasized.
