Although traditionally viewed as an area of law dealing with the disposition of property after death, estate planning encompasses far more. At Stein Sperling, estate planning is a dynamic process that takes into account your personal, financial, health, and family goals throughout your lifetime and beyond. We create personalized plans to help you achieve your objectives and preserve wealth at every stage of life.
As people live longer, establishing an estate plan becomes essential to provide for your family and beneficiaries, protect assets for pre-retirement and post-retirement, and safeguard yourself in the event of unexpected disability or illness. Our estates and trusts practice offers a broad range of services, including the organization and development of estate plans, drafting pre- and post-nuptial agreements, and step-by-step guidance through the probate and trust administration processes.
We listen carefully to you and explore options to meet your goals, navigating changes in personal, financial, health, and tax circumstances over time. We build close, lasting relationships with a diverse range of clients, including individuals, families, non-profits, entrepreneurs, and businesses.
