An Education Trust is an Irrevocable Trust designed specifically to pay for education expenses. Though there are many variations, an Education Trust typically requires that trust assets be applied only towards a beneficiary’s tuition.
Because education costs place a significant burden on a family, providing a child with the means to avoid having to save college expenses is a welcome gift. The Grantor can feel better knowing that an inheritance is not used on a quickly forgotten vacation or car, but is instead used to provide an education for a grandchild or great-grandchild.

Like another reviewer, I contacted Peter through his website using the free consultation link, for a question regarding PA inheritance taxes. The question was quite technical and difficult to explain, and the answer was nowhere to be found on the web. Peter grasped precisely what I was asking, and provided a clear, helpful response (with a touch of humor) the very next day.
Mr. Klenk has been easy to work with. I am confident he has given me good advice whenever I have called upon him. He has shown good work ethic and depth of knowledge in preparation of estate, wills, and trusts that I have worked with him on.
Answered my question quickly and referred me to a colleague that could handle my problem
