Christine Hill
Navigating the dissolution of my late father's trust was an overwhelming prospect, complicated by significant tax implications and family dynamics. From our first consultation at Alston & Bird, Jake Kaplan demonstrated a masterful command of both trusts and estates and the intricate tax law that intersects with them. He patiently explained every step, translating complex legal concepts into clear, actionable plans. His foresight in structuring the distributions not only honored my father's wishes but also proactively mitigated potential tax burdens for the beneficiaries—a level of strategic thinking I now understand is why he's recognized in these fields. Jake’s professionalism was matched by genuine empathy; he handled sensitive family communications with deft diplomacy. The entire process, which I had dreaded, was managed with remarkable efficiency and clarity. For anyone in Atlanta facing estate planning or administration, especially with a tax-sensitive component, I cannot recommend Jake Kaplan more highly. His expertise from Emory Law and his practical, client-centered approach are truly exceptional.
