Profile

Vance represents family business owners, executives, professionals, and retirees in estate planning, business succession planning, and estate and trust administration. He provides advice on estate, gift, and income tax planning, long-term wealth preservation, and charitable planning.

He takes a holistic approach to planning and collaborates with clients and their various professional advisors, including accountants, financial advisors, and family offices. He provides advice on the preparation of wills, succession planning, life insurance planning, and revocable and irrevocable trust planning.
