A thoroughly confusing maze of complex tax laws and distribution regulations makes retirement funds seems almost inaccessible to their owners. After spending a lifetime building wealth, people want to be able to use their money as they wish. In short, all of us want to be in control of our own destiny. The desire to be in control is also manifested in estate planning. My clients universally want to develop a comprehensive estate plan that will reflect their hopes, dreams, and concerns for family members, loved ones, and various charitable causes long after their deaths. I believe this is so important that my entire career in the legal profession has been dedicated to making these goals a reality for my clients.
