Overview

Nancy Reimann is an experienced trust and estate lawyer who advises high-net-worth individuals, families and fiduciaries in estate planning, probate and trust administration.

Recognized by Chambers as a leader in Private Wealth Law, Nancy creates plans for the transmission of individual wealth, including ways to minimize gift, estate and generation-skipping taxes on the transfer of closely held business interests and other family assets.

Nancy also advises fiduciaries regarding the administration of trusts and estates and represents clients in trust and estate litigation.

A unique area of Nancy’s practice involves counseling lenders on making and enforcing loans and other credit accommodations (security interests, guarantees) that involve deceased obligors or trusts.

With decades of experience guiding families through the deeply personal process of estate and trust planning, Nancy brings both legal precision and emotional intelligence to her work. Clients rely on her ability to take intricate estate, trust and tax concepts and render them in plain language. Equally important, Nancy listens closely—discerning not just what clients say but what they feel—and helps them navigate the interpersonal complexities that can arise in family wealth planning.

Maintaining absolute confidentiality, Nancy provides a safe environment for candid conversations and, in moments of conflict, she steers families toward reconciliation and settlement, preserving relationships whenever possible.

In her free time, Nancy enjoys reading, travel and following her favorite sports teams.
