Comprehensive And Holistic Estate Planning Tailored To Protect Yourself And Your Legacy

I am Sander S. Straus, an estate planning attorney with a core focus on helping my clients understand the importance of establishing a plan for themselves while they are alive and teaching them how to preserve their legacies both now and in the future. I also provide custom guidance for forming charitable foundations to ensure that the federal government isn’t the largest beneficiary of my clients’ estates.

Let’s Discuss Your
Estate Planning Motivations And Needs

If you suddenly become incapacitated and do not have an estate plan, your family may have to petition the court to obtain a guardianship or conservatorship to assist you with your medical and financial needs. These court orders will not be customized in the way that you may have desired, which might result in decisions being made for you that you would not have made on your own. In addition, if you die without an estate plan, your assets will be subject to distribution under Nevada’s laws of intestacy, resulting in you losing control over who receives your assets and the manner in which assets are received as well.

At the Law Offices of Sander S. Straus, LLC, I concentrate 100% of my practice on all aspects of estate planning and estate administration, from straightforward planning to more complicated services, including charitable planning, advanced tax planning, estate and gift taxation, fiduciary duty guidance, trust and estate accounting, the formation of business entities, probate, and other topical matters. I can help teach you about strategies to protect your wealth and to provide your family members with future financial stability when you are no longer here to do so.

Are You New to 
Nevada?

Whether you are an entrepreneur who is relocating to southern Nevada for the bountiful business opportunities or an individual who has relocated to enjoy the vast choices for a relaxing lifestyle, now is the time to create or to update your estate planning documents.

State laws govern trusts, and these laws differ from state to state. Nevada trust laws are some of the most favorable in the county, from trust administration to our 365 year rule against perpetuities. If your legal documents are not up to date or are based on another state’s laws, you could be missing out on all of the benefits of Nevada law controlling your estate planning. Furthermore, if your trust documents are outdated, then individuals who you once wanted to serve in your documents may need to be substituted for others or more local people.

If you have recently experienced a significant life change, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, the death of a spouse, recent good fortune, or the opening of a new business, it is vital that your estate planning documents reflect these life events.

State laws generally govern trust and estate statutes. Nevada’s laws may not be the same as they are wherever you are from. If your legal documents are not up to date, then you may experience unforeseen consequences if you die or cannot speak for yourself. Your ex-spouse could inherit, for example.

If you have recently experienced a significant life change, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, the death of a spouse, a lottery win or the opening of a new business , your estate planning documents need to reflect these changes.
