Estate Planning Services in Baltimore

Protecting Your Assets

As your net worth continues to grow, so does your estate. If unprepared, your heirs could face substantial federal and Maryland state estate tax liabilities. If you were to die without a will, known as “intestate,” your assets may be subject to probate. This is typically costly, and it can potentially cause disputes amongst your heirs.

Estate planning can be intimidating and frustrating and is oftentimes overlooked due to the uncomfortable nature of the conversations that arise. However, with the proper guidance and interpretation from Geier Asset Management, estate planning can be seamless and simple to implement. Proper estate planning will save your family a great deal of time, heartache, and money.
