Estate Planning

Why You Need Estate Planning

Estate planning is the process whereby families develop a plan that ensures that the assets they have worked so hard accumulating during their lifetime are protected and distributed to those they love after their death. Without proper estate planning, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Connecticut Department of Revenue stand to inherit a large portion of your assets.

If you own a house, have some savings stashed away, or own any goods such as a car or furniture, then you have an estate. Planning for the future will affect the financial security of those you love. If you don't plan for what happens to your estate upon your death, then the government will make those decisions for you.

Estate Planning Practice Areas

My goal as your lawyer is to provide you with practical solutions to your estate planning concerns, with a strong emphasis on the tax ramifications of various estate plans. At the Law Offices of L. Morris Glucksman, I focus on federal estate tax as part of my overall estate planning services. I realize that every individual's financial circumstances and desires are different. I will provide you with close personal attention, and structure your estate plan to meet your specific goals.

I provide experienced estate planning to people throughout lower Fairfield County in Connecticut, including the cities of Norwalk, Stamford, Greenwich, New Canaan, Wilton and Darien. If you are interested in maintaining management and control of your estate, while at the same time avoiding probate, protecting your loved ones, ensuring their financial privacy, and obtaining peace of mind, I offer basic estate plans which include revocable living trusts, simple wills, powers of attorney for property management, advance health care directives (living wills), children's trusts, real estate trusts and other property agreements.

For those seeking more in-depth estate planning, my areas of representation include:

  • Simple and complex will creation
  • Establishment of revocable, irrevocable and charitable trusts
  • Business set-ups, including structure of family limited partnerships and limited liability companies (LLCs)
