Estate Planning

Life-changing moments — the start of a new marriage or birth of a child — often prompt people to create valuable estate plans. This is important, but I also encourage clients to review their wills and trusts periodically. Changes in circumstances, such as financial modifications or domestic situations are valuable opportunities for everyone to review their estate plans.

At the law office of A. Bret Steig, Attorney at Law, I have helped clients zero-in on their estate planning needs for more than 10 years. As a seasoned estate planning lawyer, I have a strong background representing clients with a variety of estate needs, such as:

• Wills
• Trusts
• Living wills
• Durable powers of attorney

Estate Administration

When family members pass away, feelings of jealousy and mistrust can quickly bubble up regarding how family assets are distributed to everyone. Emotionally-draining disputes threaten to rip apart families for years.

If you are the executor of a relative's estate, securing an attorney's services can create a diplomatic environment to discuss your family's wills and trusts, while not threatening the future of a family. For more than a decade, I have helped clients with complicated estate administration matters, such as:

• Probate
• Estate taxes
• Will contests
• Business succession
• Estate and state tax returns
• Breaches of fiduciary trust
• L9 Waivers for the Sale of Property
• Real estate sales
• Legal guardianships

I am well-prepared to provide you with the best representation possible in an effort to help you and your family avoid estate litigation.
