Clement Law Offices, PLLC, is a law firm in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with its practice devoted solely to tax and estate planning law. Wealth Strategies Consulting, LLC, is a firm that counsels higher net worth families in estate planning and wealth preservation planning. The firm uses the Esperti Peterson Planning Model™ and the Life Circle™ to develop plan designs which reflect clients’ hopes, dreams, and even fears about wealth and their families.

The firm gives advice to individuals and families on how to preserve financial independence and to transfer wealth with exactly the kinds of controls and tax protections desired.

A good plan should always provide the client with exactly the type of lifestyle desired. A good plan addresses income taxes, gift taxes and estate taxes, and takes into account the resources that the client has now and is projected to have. A good plan incorporates the client’s family, heritage, and community values. Planning for IRAs, or qualified plans, is also an integral part of a good estate plan.

Both books include Bob Esperti and Renno Peterson as co-authors and other members of the Esperti-Peterson Institute.
