Fundamental Estate Planning

at the Law Office of Stephen C. Sluss

Perhaps one of the most important reasons to create an estate plan is to pass on your values and beliefs. Clients often think that estate planning is just about how to divide their property after they pass away. Others think that estate planning is just about saving taxes. And still yet others think it is just about "documents" such as wills and trusts.

Good estate planning should also focus on taking care of you while you're alive and provide you with optimum flexibility in the event you become disabled, so you can indirectly retain "control" to a limited extent.

Our clients agree that estate planning is about:

  • Maintaining control of your property while alive.
  • Taking care of you and your loved ones if you're disabled.
  • Giving what you have to whom you want, the way you want, and when you want.
  • Saving every last tax dollar, professional fee, and court cost legally possible.

The Law Office of Stephen C. Sluss strives to provide caring and compassionate client service. We want our clients to know that we're here to take care of them rather than sending them out the door with "documents."
