He also counsels high-net-worth individuals and families in their estate and tax planning. Andrew works closely with estate planning clients to attain their personal, tax and business planning goals. He drafts and reviews wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and other estate and business planning documents. He is also well-versed in planning for individuals with special needs.

Andrew also advises fiduciaries and beneficiaries in the administration of trusts and estates. He prepares income, gift, estate and inheritance tax returns, as well as trust modification, termination and related agreements.
