Overview

Christopher (“Chris”) Voukides focuses his practice on estate planning and trust and estate administration. Chris advises high net-worth individuals and families on sophisticated wealth transfer strategies designed to preserve assets across generations. He counsels clients on the design and implementation of comprehensive estate plans that minimize exposure to federal and state estate, gift, income, and generation-skipping transfer (GST) taxes, while aligning each plan with the client’s long-term financial and family objectives. Chris collaborates with accountants, investment advisors, and fiduciaries to ensure that strategies are implemented in a coordinated and practical manner, with careful attention to changing tax laws.

Chris regularly assists founders and entrepreneurs in anticipation of business sales and other liquidity transactions, helping them structure their holdings before value-shifting events occur in order to minimize income and transfer taxes and protect family wealth. His practice includes the design and implementation of sophisticated estate plans involving grantor and non-grantor trusts, family limited partnerships and LLCs, intentionally defective grantor trusts, spousal lifetime access trusts, incomplete-gift non-grantor trusts, installment sales, and other strategies used to transfer appreciating assets prior to exit events.
