Estate Planning for Ultra High Net Worth Clients
Many attorneys who serve ultra-high-net-worth clients focus mainly (or even exclusively) on trying to save taxes. But tax savings alone is not enough. We aim to achieve more for you, because, frankly, there is much more at stake than just the size of your estate.
Understanding Your Unique Blueprint
Your wealth is more than numbers on a balance sheet; it's a testament to your life's work, ambitions, and values. We understand that no two clients are the same, which is why we take the time to listen deeply and understand the full scope of your financial landscape and personal goals. We collaborate with you to design a plan that seamlessly integrates your desires for wealth preservation, philanthropic endeavors, and multigenerational legacy.
Precision Engineering for Complex Estates
For ultra high net worth clients, estate planning is an intricate process that demands precision and foresight. From tax optimization strategies to intricate trust structures, we employ advanced legal tools to ensure your wealth is safeguarded and transferred according to your wishes. Our approach is like that of an architect meticulously drafting a blueprint—every detail is accounted for, and every element is tailored to fit your unique circumstances.
A Personalized, Collaborative Process
We believe in a collaborative approach, where your voice is heard, your concerns are addressed, and your vision is realized. Our process involves:

Private Foundations & Nonprofits
One of the most rewarding parts of practicing law is being the architect of a client's philanthropic plans. By that, we mean being able to help them see possibilities they didn't even realize existed, and then help plan and create a meaningful and lasting legacy.
In terms of the nuts and bolts, we help create tax-exempt organizations, whether they be public charities or private foundations, and we also help clients weigh the various planning options to determine what path might be most appropriate. Once the organizations are established, we can also assist with tax returns and other required annual filings.

MATTHEW GIBSON
Matt has practiced law since 2006, and has worked with thousands of clients during that period. He gravitated towards estate planning as soon as he graduated from law school, as he saw the practice area as an opportunity to engage in his two greatest passions—meeting with and getting to know people, and writing. He is not kidding when he says that he thinks about estate planning, and the estate planning process, incessantly, and that he is always looking for ways to improve our services and better help clients. He is fortunate and grateful to have been recognized by his peers as a Top Lawyer through Columbus CEO magazine and as AV-Rated through Martindale-Hubbell.
