Practice
Magda Fleckner, a partner in the Private Client Group, joined Ropes & Gray in 2003. She has been practicing for over 17 years and serves as trustee for numerous family trusts. Magda focuses on trust administration, estate planning and estate settlement, and estate, gift and generation-skipping taxation matters. In addition to working closely with her personal clients, she is a member of the firm’s Trust Conference which is responsible for the investment management of all in-house trust accounts.
Professional Experience
Magda has substantial experience in estate planning and settlement for high net worth individuals, families, company executives, venture capitalists and owners of emerging businesses. In addition to serving as trustee for clients, she is also executor for estates of varying size and is well-regarded for her experience overseeing the intricacies of these estates, assisting clients through the probate process, coordinating the authentication and disposition of valuable assets and rendering sound advice on fiduciary responsibilities and alternative tax arrangements. Magda’s practice involves the active administration of marital trusts, family trusts, generation-skipping trusts and other sophisticated arrangements that often involve working with individuals of second and third generations of families. She also advises clients on all aspects of charitable planning and works closely with firm professionals that include financial planners, philanthropic advisers, and accountants to address her clients’ personal and financial needs.
In addition to her established practice, Magda is a frequent lecturer and writer on estate planning and trust topics. She is often invited to speak at seminars sponsored by the Boston Bar Association and recently participated in a program entitled Drafting for Thoughtful Estate Tax Apportionment. In collaboration with a firm colleague, she is co-author of the annual supplement to Newhall’s Settlement of Estates and Fiduciary Law in Massachusetts, published by Thomson/West and considered the premier work on these topics in Massachusetts. She is also a contributor to Drafting Irrevocable Trusts in Massachusetts, published by the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education and has written a variety of other articles on trust and estate administration.
