Talk Story with an Advertiser: Hawaii Trust & Estate Counsel
John Roth, owner of Hawaii Trust & Estate Counsel on Hawai‘i Island, said the firm is all about providing the Hawai‘i Island community with the education they need to make the best decision possible when it comes to estate planning.
“My favorite part of the job is getting to know my clients so that I can provide them with a complete estate plan that suits them,” he said. “I love how my clients feel afterward and when they thank me for providing them with peace of mind.”
John formed Hawaii Trust & Estate Counsel in April of 2014. Prior to that, he worked for several years at various firms and has taught estate planning as an adjunct law professor at the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
You may also see him on the UH Hilo campus, where he periodically teaches a business law course. In his spare time, he also writes an advice column for North Hawaii News titled “Just Ask John,” where he offers free advice about estate planning.
John works alongside his father, Randall Roth, and Hilo-native William “Kumu” Belcher.
With their combined forces, they provide various planning options to clients including estate planning, probate administration, trust administration, charitable giving, Medicaid awareness, asset protection, and dispute resolution.
The firm focuses on everything from drafting wills to tax planning, but if you asked Roth what their true focus is he’d reply “the people.”
“We take time to get to know our clients as people and understand their goals and concerns. This makes it possible for us to provide a personalized estate plan that provides peace of mind for each client.”
