About your presenter:
Tate Birnie, Attorney
Tate Birnie specializes in trusts and estate planning, probate, trust administration, Wills, elder law, incapacity planning and trust and estate litigation. Her approach to estate planning begins with listening and learning about you, your family and your financial assets. Tate will work with you to make sure that you understand your options so that you can make the choices that match your goals. Proper estate planning can result in tax savings, orderly management of your financial affairs and medical care in the event of incapacity, and a thoughtful and efficient distribution of your assets.
Tate’s practice has a particular emphasis in working with the LGBT community and estate planning with same-sex couples. Tate devotes many hours to continuing study and education with LGBT working groups to keep pace with the rapidly changing legal and tax landscape for same-sex couples in California.
Tate is also actively involved in her community and focuses on issues related to seniors. She served as a Board member of the Sebastopol Area Senior Center for eight year; serving as President of the Board for two years.
Tate is a member of the Sonoma County Bar Association, the Trusts & Estates Section of the Sonoma County Bar, the Bench-Bar Committee of the Probate Court, and the LGBT Section of the Sonoma County Bar as well as the National LGBT Bar Association. Tate has also recently joined the LGBT Family Law Institute, which is a joint venture of the LGBT Bar and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and allows experienced LGBT family law and estate planning practitioners to share collective wisdom and to discuss cutting-edge legal strategies for representing members of the LGBT community.
