About Stanley:

Stan knows the true value of moving forward. An avid world traveler, he picked up stakes in 1977 and brought his young family from South Africa to the United States, where he practiced trust and estates law for many years. Never one to remain still, he co-founded Sterling Trustees in 2008 with his son, Antony.

For Stan, success is all about relationships…and independence. “There is no business without a sound client partnership,” he says. “At Sterling, we work as a team to provide objective, balanced advice. Never be shackled to old-fashioned ideas. Be a forward thinker.”

When he’s not guiding Sterling Trustees, Stan pursues other interests – from following professional golf and tennis to playing bridge and keeping up with the latest best sellers.
