About: Lauren has a B.A. in English from Rice University and a J.D. from The University of Texas School of Law. She is a partner at the boutique estate planning firm of Giordani Baker Grossman & Ripp, LLP, in Austin, Texas, where she specializes in trusts, estates, and family and business holding structures that involve an international component. She serves as a trusted advisor to families as they design and carry out their estate plans for future generations, while navigating tricky tax implications applicable to multi-jurisdictional families. The greatest reward is helping families to understand and anticipate issues that might arise in the event of death, and to plan for all contingencies well in advance. The end goal is to give families peace of mind that their affairs are in order and to serve as a guide and resource during difficult moments following the death of a loved one.
Specialties: Lauren is an estate planner at her core, preparing wills, trusts, family holding company structures, and the related legal documents typical of a Texas estate planning attorney. In addition, she specializes in trust, entity, and estate planning for non-U.S. families with beneficiaries and investments in the U.S., inheritance planning, asset protection, tax compliance matters, and pre-immigration planning. She also has many years of experience advising fiduciaries, settlors, and beneficiaries with regard to the establishment, administration, and tax reporting issues relating to international trusts and their investments. Estate planning attorneys and financial advisors who work with domestic-only clients often refer international matters to Lauren due to the complex tax regimes applicable to nonresidents, non-citizens, foreign corporations, and foreign trusts and estates.
