There is no question that our legal system is complicated and intimidating, and it is human nature to avoid what we do not understand. As planning attorneys, our role is to clarify the confusion so you understand what you should do and why you should do it.
We live in uncertain times. Accordingly, it is more important than ever for you to be diligent in taking steps to minimize potential legal and tax problems. Everyone would like to make more money, to spend less money, to assume as little risk as possible and to do it all in the simplest and most easily understandable way. Rarely, however, can you achieve these goals by simply closing your eyes and hoping for the best. You need to develop a game plan, and that is what we help you do. Whether it is creating your estate plan, starting or selling your business or dealing with your real estate, a systematic approach to planning will put you in a position to maximize your opportunities for success.
You may be familiar with the saying “failing to plan is planning to fail.” It’s true. In an environment where so many things are outside of your control, can you really afford not to exercise control over those things that you can?
Day after day we see families suffer enormous stress and outrageous expense because they are left to clean up the mess of a loved one who failed to plan. We see businesses fail miserably because they were not structured correctly or because they had no succession plan if the owner unexpectedly departed. In each case, it is easy to blame complex laws or a screwed-up tax system. Those are nothing more than convenient excuses for the real problem – failing to plan!
You can avoid these tragedies for your family and business. There are tools available that can steer you through the legal maze in a tax and cost efficient way. First, you need to make the commitment to do something about it. Then, you need to get qualified professional assistance from O’Diam & Estess Law Group to help you develop an effective plan.
