Her approach to estate planning is comprehensive, including advising clients on estate tax avoidance strategies, legacy planning for younger generations, lifetime gifting, beneficiary designations, health care directives, and powers of attorney.

Kristina represents fiduciaries and beneficiaries in matters before the Connecticut Probate and New York Surrogates’ Courts and with the Internal Revenue Service, Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, and the New York State Department of Taxation & Finance in obtaining estate tax clearance.

She counsels the elderly and their families on capacity issues, including conservatorships and guardianships.
