Planning Your Estate With Privacy in Mind

January 23, 2014 by Sinclair Prosser Gasior

  If you are concerned about keeping the details of your estate plan private, a Trust is a better alternative than a Will.  Would you be surprised to find out that after you pass away, your Will is filed with your local probate court, and your probate file is open to the public? Anyone who is curious can walk into the courthouse, ask to see your file, and peruse the pages of your Will. In … [Read more...] about Planning Your Estate With Privacy in Mind

Why Your Trust Shouldn’t Be Short and Sweet

December 2, 2013 by Sinclair Prosser Gasior

  A short and sweet Trust might be easier to read through, but it is likely not an adequate foundation for a solid estate plan. One purpose of a Trust is to anticipate issues that might arise after your disability or death; another is to provide instructions for what should be done with your assets in different situations. A few pages of simple instructions just are not sufficient to address … [Read more...] about Why Your Trust Shouldn’t Be Short and Sweet

Testimonials

5 Stars

We initiated estate planning following a presentation by Sinclair Prosser Attorney Jon Gasior. We were so impressed, we contracted with them to complete our estate planning. Subsequently, we assembled information on our assets and Sinclair Prosser Gasior did the rest. Correspondence was communicated to our financial institutions and the estate was established. We were very pleased with the courteous manner of the Sinclair Prosser Gasior staff. However, it was their professionalism that made us satisfied we chose this firm to handle our estate. We have nothing but praise for Sinclair Prosser Gasior .
