| Description | GENERAL INFORMATION: – Layne has practiced law for more than 40 years, having practiced law in Utah since 1978 and in Nevada since 1981. In 2002, after having practiced with several firms, he opened his own law practice as The Rushforth Firm, Ltd. (now ‘Rushforth Firm Ltd.’ after dropping ‘The’ from the name). In 2017, Kennedy Lee (Kenny) and Daniel Kiefer (‘Kiefer’) formed Lee & Kiefer Legal, PLLC, and the two professional limited-liability companies (PLLCs) became a limited-liability partnership, and Rushforth Firm Ltd. (RLK) was born. On April 1, 2020, RLK will cease to practice law, and its partners will operate as separate, independent firms. At that time, Layne will practice as the sole attorney of Rushforth Firm Ltd. – Layne is recognized as a leading trust-and-estate attorney in Nevada by various groups. He has had the AV/Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell since 1990, the same year in which he was accepted as a Fellow with the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC). Layne has been given the designation of TEP (trust and estate practitioner) by STEP, an international association of trust and estate practitioners. He has been a member of the Legislative Committee for the Probate and Trust Section of the State Bar of Nevada for years, and, in that capacity has assisted in the drafting of some of Nevada’s laws pertaining to trusts and estates. – The goal of estate planning is to arrange one’s financial affairs such that the likelihood of disputes and the need for court involvement are diminished, if not eliminated. When there are disputes, Layne gets involved in seeking a proper resolution of those disputes, preferably without protracted litigation, and he has served as an informal mediator, as a court-appointed guardian ad litem, and as an expert witness in trust-and-estate cases. – Throughout his career, Layne has established the Golden Rule as the prime directive of his practice. His goal is to treat all persons including clients, trustees, beneficiaries, opposing parties, and opposing counsel as he would want to be treated if we were in their situation, even if that is not reciprocated. As a corollary to that, Layne seeks to accomplish a client’s goals in the least costly manner. When appropriate, Layne encourages settlements, mediation, and other nonjudicial techniques to avoid costly litigation, even when he or his firm would make more money by litigating. – Layne has six children and 24 grandchildren. He and his wife of almost 44 years, Sharon, are seen from time to time at Disneyland, with and without grandchildren. Layne’s non-work interests include serving on the Board of Trustees for the Nevada State College Foundation, tinkering with computers and other technology, doing family history research, and church service. AFFILIATIONS: – Fellow, American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) (1990-present) and Nevada State Chair for ACTEC (2005-2010); – Member of WealthCounsel; – Board Member, Nevada State College Foundation; – Member, Legislative Committee for the Probate and Trust Section of the State Bar of Nevada. – Member of Southern Nevada Estate Planning Council (President, 1986-1988); – Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) through STEP, formerly known as the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. |
