Lawyer Overview

A cum laude graduate of Temple Law School, Ms. Evans completed Temple's graduate tax program in Estate Planning in 1994, and has devoted her practice to this area of the law since that time.

The primary goal of estate planning is to plan for the transfer of a client's assets during lifetime and upon death, so as to carry out the client's wishes. Another goal is to minimize state and federal taxes on the transfer of assets. As an estate planner, Ms. Evans assists clients in analyzing their planning goals and identifying strategies for achieving those goals.

Ms. Evans has extensive experience in preparing many forms of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, and other types of planning documents. A significant aspect of her practice also involves business succession planning, lifetime gifting strategies, and charitable gift planning.
