From Success to Significance: Inflection Points in Legacy and Impact

Michael King, J.D., Charitable Wealth Strategist

As a charitable wealth strategist and attorney at NCF, Michael works with generous families and their professional advisors, sharing concepts and strategies that allow them to leverage the impact of their giving by minimizing their income and estate tax liabilities.

In his role with NCF, Michael’s primary focus and expertise is facilitating charitable gifts of complex assets including closely held businesses, real estate, and intellectual property assets. He also helps families to plan their estates in a manner that dramatically increases their charitable giving, and in most cases avoids estate tax completely—regardless of the size of their estates.

Prior to joining NCF in 2006, Michael spent over ten years with an international tax and accounting firm, and a multi-family office. In these roles, he counseled affluent families on a broad range of wealth management issues including both financial and non-financial aspects of wealth.

Michael received his undergraduate degree in finance from Penn State University, and his law degree from the U.C.L.A. School of Law. Michael and his wife, Tammy, were high school sweethearts and have been abundantly blessed with five children and a precious granddaughter.
