I advise individuals, families and business owners on estate planning strategies that protect assets, preserve relationships and provide clarity for the future. Drawing on experience in both estate planning and probate litigation, I help clients design plans that are not only thoughtful and tax-efficient, but also practical and built to withstand real-world challenges.

Natashka Fris focuses her practice on trusts and estates, including estate planning, trust and probate administration, and fiduciary litigation. She works closely with clients to develop comprehensive estate plans — including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and business succession strategies — tailored to their unique goals, family dynamics and asset structures.

core/paragraph

Her practice is distinguished by a dual perspective in both planning and litigation. Natashka represents fiduciaries and beneficiaries in contested trust and probate matters, giving her insight into how estate plans perform under scrutiny. She leverages this experience to help clients proactively structure plans that minimize conflict, reduce risk and support long-term wealth preservation.

Natashka regularly advises high-net-worth individuals and business owners, collaborating with tax, corporate and real estate professionals to implement integrated strategies for asset protection and wealth transfer. She is particularly attuned to the complexities of closely held businesses and family-owned enterprises, offering practical, business-minded guidance that aligns legal strategy with broader financial and operational objectives.

Before returning to private practice, Natashka served as Chief Sales Officer and in-house counsel for an international retail company, where she managed complex transactions, global operations and strategic growth initiatives. This experience informs her ability to counsel clients not only as an attorney, but as a business advisor who understands risk, timing and decision-making from the client’s perspective.

Earlier in her career, Natashka founded and managed her own law practice, advising clients in family law and estate planning matters.

Natashka is known for her thoughtful, relationship-driven approach and her ability to guide clients through complex and often sensitive matters with clarity, precision and care.
