Benefits of Collaborating With Dan
Dan is an easy choice where your client has no candidate in the family, or simply wants to avoid an institutional trustee. Dan also is a competitive candidate for other clients. Having successfully administered through difficult situations in a range of trust types, Dan has developed a unique preparedness program.
The program builds, enhances and implements your estate plan, and is available whether or not Dan is named as fiduciary. With his pro-active focus on what will be successful for both the grantor and the beneficiary, Dan may be the best option to make sure your documents aren’t at the center of a dispute down the road.
- Dan’s preparedness service highlights additional legal tasks which the grantor should consider – and Dan refers your clients back to you as appropriate, including on the niceties of the trust.
- No conflicts: the only hat Dan wears is trustee (other than an occasional Cub’s hat). He’s not making investment recommendations or doing the legal work.
- Dan works for family alignment – from values and goals to managing expectations. He never wants to have beneficiaries ask why their grantors’ attorney wrote such a bad trust!
- Dan’s succession plan is covered with other professionals prepared to step in. He works with you to confirm the custom succession plan for your clients’ specific situations.
- Dan is an excellent collaborator, keeping you and the family in the loop.

Dan has a knack for guiding people in the right direction and making them feel as if it were their idea all along. His collaborative and collegial style is refreshing and very necessary for the type of work that he does. I had a pleasure working with Dan on a trust matter recently and highly recommend him.
Jennifer Guimond-Quigley
Attorney
I worked with Dan to resolve a sticky situation involving a single pot trust for the benefit of two children who lost their father and who have different mothers. Dan handled the situation with intelligence, grace, clarity. Because of his efforts and approach, we were able to reach an accord with all interested persons, helped to preserve family relations, and limit the expense of future administration. Dan is a top shelf trustee and advisor.
