Planning your estate and preserving assets for future generations are critical components of preserving one’s legacy.
At Stone & Baxter, our attorneys understand the importance of preserving wealth for the future and recognize that each individual’s priorities in that regard are as varied as their individual circumstances.
In counseling our clients in this area, we evaluate each client’s financial and personal attributes to develop an individually-tailored estate plan that best positions the client to meet his or her individual, family, and/or business objectives.
