John D Steffan, Esquire of Steffan & MacDonald LLC, Fairfax County Virginia, is an estate attorney to avoid. He creates living trusts that give complete and perhaps illegal authority to the trustee. He is ruthless and slanderous in his dealings with the heirs of a trust. He does not disclose the contents of the trust with heirs or ensure that the provisions of the trust are satisfied. Instead he represents only the trustee of the trust giving the trustee unlimited authority over the trust and the estate without disclosing the contents of the trust or overseeing its settlement to ensure that the trust is correctly administered.
