Marianne is committed to not only drafting a personalized estate plan but also helping clients implement it. When she was just out of law school, her grandmother died. While she had a will and trust in place, the attorney had not helped her organize and transfer her assets into the trust. She and her dad spent many late nights locating disorganized assets and navigating probate. Also, even though her grandmother lived frugally, because she didn’t have an ongoing relationship with her attorney, she never addressed tax issues that arose resulting in a large tax at her death.

Proper planning and implementation can help avoid these types of situations and can ease the burden of loved ones during difficult times. Marianne and her estate planning team provide clients with help, education and support with their estate plans so they can achieve their goals and have peace of mind and predictability for their loved ones and business.  

Marianne currently serves as the president-elect of the Utah Bar Estate Planning Section, the president of the Utah Valley Estate Planning Council, and is a member of the National Association of Estate Planning Attorneys and Wealth Counsel. She regularly speaks on estate and tax planning, asset protection, business planning and trust administration to various organizations including the Utah Bar Estate Planning Section, the Utah Valley Estate Planning Council, Wealth Council forum, and at a variety of events for financial professionals and business owners.
