About

If you've always been driven by the success and happiness of your children and if you have hopes that they'll continue to love each other as adults someday when you're gone, you are in the right place and you should visit my website for Free Information at www.FamilyWT.com.Far too often, I get phone calls from family members of a recently deceased person (who did not work with my office), and they are ready to sue a sibling, step parent, or some other relative over who's in charge or who's getting what. The relationships in these families, will be destroyed by feuding that can span generations. Imagine your grandchildren not knowing each other because their parents (your children) were not able to get along.When minor children are involved, planning should be focused on how the children would be provided for and cared for in the event of your passing. When these issues are left unsettled, a judge who doesn't even know your family will have to decide who will raise your children, and who should be in charge of their inheritance. I help my clients with young children address these critical components of their planning among a number of other particularly relevant issues. When children are already adults, the focus of planning should shift to planning for what happens in the event of your incapacity, setting up approved access to assets and eventually, easy asset transfers to the adult-children outside the walls of any court.Again, if you are a parent that has always been driven by the success of your children, and you have hopes that they'll love each other as adults and continue to support each other in their efforts, you are in the right place and you should contact my office for Free Information.

Stuart's organizational skills, preparedness, and professionalism made our experience in creating our trust very smooth and easy. He provided very explicit directions for the steps we needed to take which made this process very easy. I truly appreciated this aspect. M & A

I met with Stuart and was impressed with the various options he offered to his clients (he has a flat fee structure), his comprehensive overview of what needs to go into a trust, and his personality. I was looking for an attorney who knew how to develop trusts that would impact children with special needs. He was very organized, always had an agenda, and offered services I've not found with other attorneys in this area questions for you to think about when determining options for your special needs child(ren). He explains the importance of financial aspects, things to consider when naming successor trustees, special needs trusts, etc. He also did research on the ABLE account to explore what was best for my daughter. He was very open to suggestions that I made as well. In the end, you get not only the trust itself, which is beautifully organized, but an electronic copy. You also have the opportunity to leave an audio legacy for your child(ren) telling them important things that you want them to know and why you made the choices you did in planning your trust. He follows up promptly and I can't recommend him highly enough!! It was a fantastic experience!

Stuart's professionalism, attention to details, and comprehensive (family) perspective on the creation of my will & trust were exceptional. Over the several meetings & phone calls to create & review the W&T, I gained confidence & peace of mind that my loved ones will be cared for, and that Stuart will be there to help down the road, should questions & adjustments be required. I highly recommend Stuart to anyone seeking such services.

Mr. William's is a very nice Lawyer who made me feel very comfortable with his services. He is very knowledgeable of his discipline and highly detail oriented. He truly cares about his Clients and will follow up to see if I was 100% satisfied with his services. After meeting with him and finalizing all paper work, I felt everything was proper addressed and knew that I was in good hands. I highly recommend his services.

I had a stroke and divorce at the same time. Stuart protected my life insurance from my ex wife having control of it and made sure my brother is my power of attorney instead. I recommend Stuart to anyone who needs estate plan.

Stuart Williams is truly a professional yet family oriented person. My experience with Stu was and still is very friendly and upbeat. Stu exhibited an excellent knowledge of Wills and Trusts and was exceedingly helpful in assisting me to gather all my material for the Trust. Trusts can be complicated. with Stu's assistance we made it as uncomplicated as possible. He is a very detail oriented person which is necessary in these matters. I would recommend Stu to anyone needing estate planning, he would be an excellent choice.
