The Law Office of Keith R. Miles, LLC was founded in 2008 and has a focus on holistic estate and tax planning for individuals and both traditional and “blended” families.
Estate Planning should be about much more than words on a document. It is about the hopes, wishes and desires of the individual who seeks to pass along property and/or protect important individuals in their lives such as children or a surviving spouse. We recognize the uniqueness of this endeavor and as such design customized estate planning solutions for each and every client.
Tax Planning is a necessary component of life. With both a professional background in taxation and an academic LL.M. degree in Taxation, Mr. Miles is particularly equipped to devise planning that incorporates the necessary taxation considerations.
Keith R. Miles, Esq.
Mr. Miles is originally from New York (Long Island). He arrived in Georgia in 2004 to attend the Full-Time MBA program at The University of Georgia. After graduating and started working in Atlanta, he was married in 2006. Mr. Miles opened an office in Gwinnett County and handled IRS tax controversies for my clients. At the end of 2008, his wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Over the next six months, he had to learn about estate planning to plan her estate with various types of trusts from revocable trusts to special needs. She passed away in June 2009. After that, Mr. Miles shifted his law practice focus from tax law to estate planning.
Over time Mr. Miles expanded his estate planning practice beyond wills, revocable living trusts, advance directives for healthcare and powers of attorney. He was blessed to have the opportunity to pursue his LL.M. in Taxation from The University of Alabama School of Law and graduated in 2013. After graduation, Mr. Miles expanded his practice to include more advanced estate planning involving Irrevocable Trusts and Asset Protection Planning. In addition, the cases that his clients were bringing to my practice exposed more of the need to plan for long-term care expenses and the special rules to qualify for government benefits such as Medicaid.
Mr. Miles is a member of The Estate Planning Council of North Georgia. He is also a member of the Georgia and North Carolina chapters of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA).
He is a member of the Georgia and North Carolina Bars. He is also a former member of the New York Bar.
