Joan C. Skrzyniarz

Exceptional guidance on a complex family trust matter

I engaged Joan Skrzyniarz at Dickinson Wright to assist with restructuring a family trust that had become outdated and administratively burdensome. From our first meeting at the Troy office, her depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. With over two decades of experience, she expertly navigated the intersection of estate planning and Michigan nonprofit law, which was crucial as a portion of the trust was designated for charitable giving. Joan’s recognition in Trusts and Estates by Best Lawyers is well-deserved; she translated complex legal concepts into clear, actionable steps. Her meticulous approach ensured every detail, from tax implications to fiduciary responsibilities, was addressed. The process was seamless due to her professionalism and proactive communication. We achieved an optimal structure that provides clarity for future generations and fulfills our philanthropic goals efficiently. I have the utmost confidence in her counsel and highly recommend her for anyone needing sophisticated estate planning or trust administration.
