About George Steiner:

George Steiner has worked in Russia since 1991, with the International Bible Society, Children’s HopeChest, and now Orphan’s Tree. In his role, he provides vision and leadership for the ministry. Group homes, ministry centers, peer-to-peer mentorship, and foster care initiatives, among other programs, have been birthed through his vision and under his leadership. In addition to managing staff, every year George participates in a trip with U.S. church volunteers, working directly with orphans to retain close contact with the ministry audience. He also is the lead staff member for major donor relations. 

Born into a missionary family, George has always been interested in people of different cultures. He graduated from Oral Roberts University with a degree in sociology and business administration and began working in fund development. He continued this until his work took him to the USSR. On numerous visits, he witnessed the hundreds of thousands of children lost in the orphanage system during the transition from the USSR to the Russian Federation. Burdened by the overall needs of orphans, he founded Children’s HopeChest in 1994 to serve the needs of institutionalized orphans. Seeing changing orphan care needs, George established Orphan’s Tree in 2008 to assist in creating healthy families for older orphans and to help break their orphan cycle.

Listen to this informative Legacy Leaders episode with Leighton Tyau about:

●    Debunk common estate planning myths, such as families avoiding disputes over assets.

●    Uncover the necessity of crafting unique plans for clients with intricate estate requirements.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

●    Estate planning is essential for individuals who want to ensure the proper distribution of their assets and protect their loved ones' financial well-being upon their passing.

●    While estate planning focuses on the distribution of assets, tax planning efficiently minimizes tax liability throughout an individual's lifetime and after death.

●    One such misconception is that family members won't dispute inheritances, causing friction between relatives. However, according to Tyau, estate planning should consider even the smallest, seemingly insignificant items as these can often lead to family discord.

●    Professional estate and tax planning can preserve and grow a person's assets while minimizing taxes and incorporating strategies, such as the use of a bypass trust and deceased spouse unused exemption, to optimize financial outcomes.

●    By engaging in a long-term relationship with a skilled attorney, clients enjoy the added benefit of trust while ensuring their assets and loved ones are protected.

“Every client is a puzzle where I can figure out which pieces I can shift this way or that way to get the best possible outcome for the client and the client's family.”
