Digital Fiduciary Escrow® — A Modern Federal Innovation
Genders Law & Legacy PLLC, owns the development of patented Digital Fiduciary Escrow® framework designed for future 1031, DST, and multi-asset transactions.
I have been actively engaged in blockchain and digital assets as both an investor and practitioner, with a focus on how decentralized technologies can be applied pragmatically within institutional environments. My work centers on helping financial firms evaluate and adopt blockchain-enabled capabilities that improve transparency.
