Background

Dan lives in Williamsburg with his wife, Ginny, their young children, and their Labrador. Moving around much in early years, his family settled in Northern Virginia where he attended high school. At William and Mary, he majored in history, minored in religion, and received a teaching certificate.

Upon graduating, he taught high school social studies in Hampton before returning to William and Mary for a law degree. He practiced estate planning in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area until he married Ginny (another William and Mary alumna) in 2005, and they returned to Williamsburg. Dan has been in private practice in Williamsburg since that move and enjoys speaking as an estate planning expert and continuing education teacher.

Dan Gasink focuses his law practice on Wills, Trusts and Probate. He enjoys helping families through the difficult transitions of life and death. He solves clients’ problems using careful planning, reliable procedures, hard work, and creativity.
