Devin Hecht, J.D., LL.M.
Principal
I feel honored to assist individuals, families and business owners with their wealth transition and estate planning in a comprehensive and tax-efficient manner. I enjoy collaborating with Eide Bailly clients by listening to their estate planning goals, clearly outlining options and approaches and implementing estate and wealth transition strategies.
OVERVIEW
Devin assists our clients in thoughtfully approaching their estate and succession planning. Prior to joining Eide Bailly, Devin worked as a tax attorney and partner in the Tax, Trusts and Estates practice group of a regional law firm. At Eide Bailly, he assists clients in the area of estate planning and advisory services in estate and gift tax, generation-skipping transfer tax, income tax and other tax matters.
When working with Devin, you can expect an advisor who is interested in listening to client needs in implementing specific estate planning goals. He takes the time to get to know each client and family to understand their unique estate planning goals as he provides accurate, tax-efficient and practical solutions that draw upon Eide Bailly’s wealth transition resources, adding value to clients.
When he is not in the office, Devin enjoys camping, fly-fishing and hiking in Montana’s beautiful outdoors. He enjoys watching his kids participate in sports, music and other activities. Devin is also a dedicated fan of BYU athletics and loves grilling on the weekends.
