For 23 years, Susan Beveridge has helped high and moderate net worth clients avoid probate, reduce estate taxes, plan for incapacity, pass their businesses to their heirs, and implement their estate plans after death.

Susan was trained in the "Big Law Firm" environment at Manatt Phelps & Phillips, Greenberg Glusker and Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, and brings sophisticated tax expertise to the more service-oriented practice of a small firm.

  - Position inherited assets for best income tax advantages
  - Ensure continuity for family business assets
  - Protect assets for vulnerable beneficiaries
  - Pass values to heirs through trust terms
  - Create liquidity to finance estate taxes
