Mr. Gluntz’ extensive tax and business knowledge helps him assist his clients in creating sophisticated estate tax planning strategies that allow those clients to pass their wealth to their children and grandchildren, not the IRS and various state governments. His strategies also allow his clients to avoid the cost, time-consumption and public knowledge that occur as a result of probating an estate through the courts. Finally, these strategies allow clients to: First educate their children and grandchildren about their business and then to follow a well-structured business succession plan designed to transfer ownership and management of these businesses to such heirs, all while providing methods for limiting and resolving conflicts between such heirs in a non-public forum. As the base for this part of his practice, Mr. Gluntz prepares all necessary probate and estate documents, including wills, trusts, general durable powers of attorney, living wills, and health care powers of attorney and HIPAA waivers that allow his clients to obtain timely access to their loved ones’ critical health information and act on such information quickly and accordingly.

Finally, Mr. Gluntz has appeared extensively in probate court and handled guardianship actions and other probate litigation.
