Powerlist – Jeff Goldman – DeWitt

Listen to this article

A trusts and estates class at the University of Wisconsin Law School inspired Jeff Goldman to pursue a practice focused on wills, probates and trusts.

At DeWitt, Goldman is chair of the Trusts & Estates practice group, and a member of the firm’s executive committee. He enjoys the complexity and broad nature of trust and estate law, which draws upon numerous other areas of the law, including tax, business, real estate, litigation and charitable organizations.

Goldman’s combination of experience in the courtroom handling complex and routine estate and trust administration issues and drafting a variety of estate plans for his clients gives him a special perspective that sets him apart from his peers.

Goldman knows no one looks forward to planning for their death, but it is one of the most important things a person can do to ensure their financial, family and philanthropic goals in life are met — even after they are gone. He works with clients to ensure what they have is passed on to the appropriate beneficiaries.

A fellow of the American College of Trust and Estates Council and a fellow of the Wisconsin Law Foundation, Goldman has spent his entire career focused on trusts and estates.
