Maxwell Sears, J.D.

Maxwell Sears, J.D., Associate Attorney at The Law Office of Barry E. Janay, P.C.

About
Maxwell is an associate attorney focused on estate planning, drafting wills and trusts, and on probate and estate administration, the work of guiding an estate through the courts after someone passes away. He brings serious experience to that work: at a previous firm he worked
on an IRS response in a major international estate tax audit, with more than $100 million at risk of being pulled into the estate, and helped secure an extremely favorable outcome for the client. Around the office, he’s a solid go-to for questions on taxable estate planning and New York probate.
