REMEMBER, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN FOR YOUR ESTATE, THE STATE DOES
Welcome to my Web Site. My name is Arthur J. Pauly, Jr. I limit my practice to Estate and Asset Preservation Planning including creating and administering charitable giving plans . You are here because you care about your family. You have worked hard to create your estate and you deserve the best estate planning available. It is our goal to plan your estate to reflect your wants, wishes and aspirations. Anything less is, well, less than you deserve. Estate planning is as important as planning for your retirement.
The good news is, you probably won’t get hit by a bus tomorrow. In fact, the odds are quite low. The bad news is that you could get hit by a bus tomorrow. What’s more, actuarial tables don’t lie: Someday, your proverbial bus will come. So from an estate planning standpoint, you have only two options. You can leave a tangled mess for your loved ones to sort through, or you can take a few simple steps that will make a difficult time easier. You can set up your finances so your wealth goes to your spouse and children, or you can procrastinate, increasing the risk that your cash ends up in the hands of the taxman, the lawyers or the evil husband of your ex-wife.
I hope you go from this site informed and ready to move on your own estate plan.
