Kimberly B. McDermott

As a member of the Firm's estate planning department, I focus my practice on developing and implementing tax and estate plans for individuals and families. Specifically, I advise clients on wills, various trusts, administration of trusts and estates, preparation of gift and estate tax returns, antenuptial agreements, and asset protection. I also have considerable experience putting wealth transfer techniques into action, including the use of limited partnerships; limited liability companies; buy-sell and shareholder agreements; intra-family loans; sales to defective grantor trusts; and other gifting practices. In addition, I have experience in estate administration and gift and estate tax audits. I have extensively worked on a wide variety of matters for owners of closely held businesses, including issues related to corporate governance; sales and acquisitions; plans for ownership or management succession and procurement; and maintenance and restoration of status as an S corporation.
