Indianapolis, IN estate planning attorney Thomas Steele talks about the most rewarding aspect of his practice and shares the one piece of advice he most often gives to his clients. He notes that the most rewarding aspect of his practice is helping clients leave better off than when they first came to him. Whether planning for a young family, protecting children in the event of a parent’s passing, or arranging for the distribution of assets to a spouse, adult children, grandchildren, or charitable organizations, he finds fulfillment in guiding clients to secure their legacy and provide peace of mind for their loved ones.

He emphasizes that it is never too early to begin planning. Clients of all ages—whether single, married, young adults, or retirees—benefit from thoughtful estate planning. This can range from preparing powers of attorney for an 18-year-old leaving home for the first time, to creating comprehensive estate plans for newlyweds, parents, or retirees. He stresses the importance of addressing these matters proactively, as delaying planning can leave family members to manage complex issues during difficult times.

For him, the greatest gift a client can provide both to themselves and to those they leave behind is a well-considered plan put in place today.
