Nazneen S. Hasan
Member
Nazneen Hasan helps ultra-high-wealth individuals take control of their wealth, future health, and legacies. Experienced in estate planning, business formation and succession, and complicated estate and gift tax matters, Nazneen also litigates complex jurisdictional issues in trust disputes and estate contests. More than a legal advisor, she connects with her clients on a human level, showing care and empathy while also instilling trust and confidence.
Listening is one of Nazneen’s strongest skills. Clients come to her with a range of concerns—family issues, out-of-state children, end-of-life considerations, and how and to whom their assets will transfer when they can no longer make those decisions. Nazneen gets to know each client and their family and understands the dynamics of their relationships. Using wills, trusts, advance directives, and other instruments, she assists clients in structuring their estates, anticipating tax consequences, and designating conscientious personal representatives and advocates who will carry out their wishes before and after their deaths.
“I’ve been told I have high EQ–emotional intelligence. I understand and connect with my clients, and I am sensitive to their relationships and circumstances. With that knowledge, I give them peace of mind and certainty about what will happen with their families and estates after they’re gone.”
