“I decided to become a trusts & estates planning attorney because I took a course in law school and I found it very enjoyable. And I thought to myself, that people work their entire lives for their assets and they want these assets to go to their loved ones. I always want to be that trusted counsel in a client’s time of need.”

Anthony K. Khatchoui

Counsel

Anthony Khatchoui is Counsel of the New York City and Garden City offices of Pierro, Connor & Strauss, LLC. Mr. Khatchoui’s practice focuses on preserving generational wealth for high-net-worth individuals by minimizing or avoiding gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes.

Mr. Khatchoui regularly reviews clients’ existing estate planning documents and prepares detailed proposals outlining sophisticated estate planning techniques that would enhance their plans by producing a more tax-efficient transfer of wealth. He is also responsible for drafting clients’ estate planning documents and creating custom flowcharts to illustrate how seemingly esoteric techniques form a cohesive strategy for the benefit of loved ones.

As a new parent himself, Mr. Khatchoui is passionate about helping families with their initial set of estate planning documents. He regularly drafts revocable living trusts, wills, irrevocable life insurance trusts and ancillary documents for new parents as well as for seasoned parents who are at or near retirement. He successfully completed a document execution without waking the clients’ sleeping newborn that was also in the conference room, a first for the firm’s New York City office.
