Speaker bio
Rhonda A. Miller
is principal at Miller Legal Group, PLLC. For nearly two decades, she has helped high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and C-level executives preserve wealth, reduce estate tax exposure, and mitigate capital gains liabilities through tailored estate planning and tax strategies. Ms. Miller's practice focuses on structuring sophisticated plans that align with her clients' financial goals, legacy wishes, and family business succession plans. She advises clients on a wide range of estate tax minimization techniques. Ms. Miller regularly implements planning tools such as dynasty trusts, spousal lifetime access trusts (SLATs), charitable remainder trusts (CRTs), and qualified personal residence trusts (QPRTs). She also helps clients establish private foundations and family limited partnerships to support charitable giving while reducing taxable estates. Business succession planning is another key component of Ms. Miller's practice. She counsels business founders and family business owners on how to transfer ownership to the next generation in a tax-efficient manner. This includes developing comprehensive plans that address both the financial and emotional dynamics that come with succession planning for closely held businesses. For clients with significantly appreciated assets, Ms. Miller focuses on capital gains mitigation strategies. She structures qualified small business trusts (QSBTs) and 1202 trusts to take advantage of Section 1202 capital gains exclusions. Additionally, Ms. Miller advises clients on entity restructuring, charitable planning, and other techniques to minimize tax liabilities in advance of liquidity events such as business sales or IPOs.
