Kimberly Harris-Browns Featured in The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Trust Quarterly Review

  Harrison LLP  ·  1 minute read

The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) recently featured a review by Chicago associate Kimberly Harris-Browns in its Trust Quarterly Review. Kimberly's review of Trust Laws in the United States discusses the book's analysis of trust laws across multiple states and its relevance for practitioners advising clients with multistate estate planning and trust administration needs.

In Kimberly's review, she notes:

"Trust Laws in the United States, published in 2026, is a thorough yet concise and readable summary of trust laws in select states throughout the US, representing every region of the country and a majority of its population. At a time when many states are adopting modified versions of the Uniform Trust Code (UTC) and vying for their share of the quickly evolving and increasingly cross-border trust industry, this book is a timely resource. It would be helpful for junior estate planning professionals seeking a firmer foundation in trust administration and senior professionals contemplating trust creation or administration involving settlors, beneficiaries and trustees located in multiple states, or those wishing to utilise favourable laws in a particular state."

Kimberly supports clients through the preparation of wills, trusts, and gift tax returns; the use of gifts, sales, and other wealth-transfer strategies; and trust and estate administration, including intestate probate and minor guardianship proceedings. She works closely with public charities and private foundations on corporate formation and state-level registration, application for state and federal income tax exemption, compliance with tax and governance-related requirements and best practices, and corporate dissolution.
