About Brittany Laine
Brittany Laine Stouffer earned both a J.D. in estate planning and an LL.M. in taxation from the University of Baltimore School of Law. Her academic background pairs training in transactional estate work with graduate study in tax law. That combination later became a steady reference point for the kinds of matters she accepts and the questions clients bring to her office.
She is licensed to practice in Maryland and has built a practice that bridges estate planning and the tax issues those matters can raise. Rather than split her work between unrelated areas, she has concentrated on wills, trusts, probate and the tax consequences of estate arrangements. Her cases range from straightforward estate plans to more complex trust administration where federal and state tax rules affect distribution decisions.
Her involvement in the bar and local organizations reflects the professional scope of her work. She serves as Vice President of the Estates and Trusts Section for Baltimore County within the Maryland State Bar Association. She also holds a board membership with the Baltimore County Game and Fish Protective Association, a local organization whose leadership role places her among community stakeholders beyond the courthouse and conference room.
Colleagues describe her as precise in document drafting and careful when advising on tax aspects of estate planning. She approaches client matters in a practical way. That often means explaining how a particular trust language will play out during administration or outlining the tax implications of different distribution strategies. She represents individual clients and works with fiduciaries on administration questions, including filings and communications required by the probate process.
Stouffer practices from Stouffer Legal. Her office handles traditional estate planning tasks, trust and probate administration, and tax matters tied to estates and gifts. She continues to participate in local bar activities and community boards while maintaining an active caseload in Maryland.
