TRUST

Trust services concerning estate planning and management are a complex branch of the law that involves creative and strategic thinking, as well as significant attention. It is not sufficient to put all the efforts in drafting a will without paying attention to certain issues such as appropriate designation of beneficiaries to retirement accounts or life insurance plans. Doing so will result in undesirable tax burdens. At Steffy Law P.C., we ensure that all parts of your Trust plans fit together.
