A template will / trust is not enough. You may not know it, but Silicon Valley technology professionals are more likely than most Americans to have complex financial and family structures that require specialized estate planning. Technology professionals are more likely to have incentive stock (RSUs, NSOs, ISOs, etc), rental real estate, high net worth, or invest in specialized assets such as crypto currency. These professionals are also more likely to have complex family structures such as non-citizen permanent resident couples or spouses, citizen children and noncitizen parents, and distant extended family.
Join the attorneys of RUI attorneys to learn about estate planning for these professionals where they will go beyond the basic will/trust and outline solutions to difficult planning issues such as the estate tax, international guardianship of children, capital gains tax reduction trusts and other topics designed for Silicon Valley technology professionals.
