Karin also has a particular focus on advising the tech-oriented entrepreneur and has been quoted extensively in local and national newspapers and magazines and featured on WSBT and WBBM’s evening news for her views regarding cryptocurrency, digital assets and estate planning.  Prior to joining BBH Multi-Family Office in 2014, she had a distinguished career in private law practice.  She received a B.A. in Business, summa cum laude, from Mount St. Mary's University and a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law, where she was elected to the Order of the Coif and was published in the Virginia Tax Review.

Currently, as Managing Director and Wealth Advisor at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, she advises ultra-high net worth clients on estate planning and business succession strategies.

    Look What You Made Me Do:
    A Checklist for Post-Mortem Tax Planning (Taylor's Version)

    Ashley L. Case, Esq., LL.M., AEP
    Tiffany & Bosco, P.A.

    This Eras Tour-inspired presentation provides practical insights for managing tax obligations after a decedent’s passing, helping attendees avoid any “bad blood” with the IRS. It covers key strategies for being “fearless” with income, estate, and gift tax planning, along with the use of disclaimers, to minimize liabilities and attract good “karma” throughout the estate administration. Attendees will learn how to “shake off” complex tax scenarios, ensuring they have the tools to fill in any “blank space” on tax forms with confidence. Like a true “mastermind,” attendees will be equipped to handle the full “labyrinth” of post-mortem tax decisions.


    Topics covered:

    • Post-mortem income tax requirements
    • Implementing estate tax planning techniques
    • Incorporating gift tax and disclaimer planning into administration


    ONLINE: 7:50 am - Announcements, Estate Plan Update and Sponsor message
