Magdalen Gaynor is an attorney in private practice with offices in Manhattan and Westchester. She is a former chair of the New York State Bar Association Trusts and Estates Law Section.
“One of the great benefits of having been a trusts and estates attorney for almost 40 years is that many of my clients have become like family. It’s important to know I have done right by them, and made sure their plans for the future are securely in place.
For people who don’t want to tackle all the administrative challenges of creating their own foundation, The New York Community Trust has been a great fit. Because of The Trust’s reputation, clients know their funds will be well managed. And it gives them an ongoing way to provide for what they care about.
Some of my clients have cared deeply about specific fields—social work, art, or dance—and The Trust worked with them to make sure that it could guide their philanthropy now and into the future.
The Trust has always been a trusted partner that I feel confident recommending to my clients.”
