At Stein Sperling, we work closely with you to develop estate plans that facilitate asset growth, minimize tax liabilities, and shield against creditors’ claims. We structure estates to uphold your wishes for asset distribution during your lifetime and after your death. Understanding your unique circumstances enables us to recommend strategies that sustain wealth for future generations while protecting the current generation.

In addressing your estate planning needs, we offer guidance on titling assets and designating appropriate beneficiaries. We also assist in crafting pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements that align with your current wishes and future goals for yourself and your loved ones. These agreements are crucial components of your estate plan, often detailing asset distribution upon a spouse’s passing, particularly in blended families with children from prior marriages.

Stein Sperling’s estate planning attorneys are also adept at implementing other effective strategies for safeguarding your family’s assets, such as Generation-Skipping Transfer (GST) Trusts. These “lifetime trusts” allow you to provide for your children without specific age parameters, thereby ensuring long-term asset protection and continuity for future generations.
