Navigating the probate process for my late father's estate in New York was daunting, especially with a blended family and several out-of-state properties. From our first consultation, Gerard Joyce at Perkins Coie demonstrated a masterful command of the intricacies involved. His deep knowledge of New York trust and estate law was immediately apparent, providing clarity where other attorneys had only offered complexity. He meticulously reviewed every asset and beneficiary designation, identifying potential tax implications we had completely overlooked. Gerard’s foresight and strategic planning were instrumental in avoiding a protracted family dispute and significantly reducing the estate's tax burden. While his recognition in Best Lawyers for Trusts and Estates speaks volumes, it was his personal commitment that truly set him apart. He was consistently accessible, patiently explaining each step in plain language, and his calm, professional demeanor provided immense reassurance during a stressful time. The entire process was handled with remarkable efficiency and care. I am profoundly grateful for his expertise and highly recommend Gerard Joyce to anyone seeking top-tier counsel for estate planning or administration.
