Mary Ann Mancini
Partner

Mary Ann Mancini's practice focuses on advising high net worth families and individuals who reside in the United States and internationally. Her clients include leaders of Fortune 100 companies and their families, as well as families whose wealth is more privately held and, in many cases, based on real estate ownership.

Ms. Mancini counsels her clients on all matters that affect their estates, including the structuring and formation of entities, the creation of irrevocable “dynasty” trusts, tax planning for families and the entities they own, and the protection and preservation of their assets.

Ms. Mancini is also experienced in succession and estate planning for closely-held business owners. She is a nationally recognized expert in techniques that utilize life insurance in estate and business plans, such as insurance trusts, split dollar and deferred compensation arrangements, and life settlements. Ms. Mancini represents fiduciaries and beneficiaries in trust and estate matters before the Internal Revenue Service and in administration and litigation matters, and works with many private trust companies, family offices, and national and international bank trust departments.

Prior Work Experience

Prior to joining Loeb & Loeb LLP, Ms. Mancini was a partner in the Washington, DC office of Bryan Cave LLP where she was the leader of the firm’s national and international Private Client Group until March 2012.
