Estate Planning  - the Financial Aspects

Estate planning was greatly complicated by the tax law changes in 2001. The laws impact retirement and estate planning differently each year through 2010!

You need a CPA who can make financial sense of complex regulations and the ever-changing investment environment. You need an accounting professional who works in concert with legal and certified financial planning specialists to provide a team that helps you leave your heirs as many assets as the law allows.

Sterck Kulik O'Neill Certified Public Accountants specialize in approaching Estate Planning from a financial perspective.

These CPAs are experienced in designing appropriate trusts and other financial plans. They are up-to-date on inheritance regulations, strategies and tactics. Sterck Kulik O'Neill CPA's participate in on-going professional training, and they include staff recognized by the California Society of CPA's Education Foundation with a Certificate in Estate and Retirement Planning.

Sterck Kulik O'Neill designs customized estate and retirement plans only after listening to clients and asking detailed questions. They insist on understanding the client's goals and objectives. A good estate plan can be developed only after the individual clarifies his or her current financial needs and incorporates those with the desire to pass assets to future heirs.  Estate Planning for San Francisco Sample Schedule
