To that end, she creates estate plans and charitable giving programs designed to meet her clients' family succession and wealth management objectives. Nicole also assists individuals in creating corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships or other business entities, and works with business owners to maintain control of their companies through buy-sell agreements, or to relinquish control via responsibly-conducted transition of ownership to family members or employees.
