關於我們
Angela Hsiao
創辦人，傳承與遺產律師
Angela Hsiao 是 Sage Legacy Law 的創辦人，專注於「愛與傳承規劃」——協助伴侶、家庭及個人將承諾化為持久、受保護的現實。她引導客戶完成遺產規劃、信託架構、傳承設計、家族治理及資產保護策略，旨在守護最重要的事物。
Angela 的方法深具人文關懷。她的背景橫跨法律、心理學、藝術史，以及在美國與台灣之間豐富的跨文化生活經歷，使她不將法律架構視為孤立的文件，而是必須在家庭生活完整脈絡中運作的生命系統。
在她的引導下，客戶學會將意圖轉化為可行的計畫，從而保存他們的價值觀、保護他們的資產，並為他們共同設想的生活——在當下與跨越世代中——建立基礎。
為何創立此事務所
從傳統法律到傳承架構。
傳統遺產規劃往往聚焦於文件——遺囑、信託、授權書——作為孤立的產出。但家庭不活在文件裡。他們活在關係、資產、價值觀與決定的系統中。
Sage Legacy Law 正是為了填補這一缺口而建立。我們從量產型法律服務轉向一種實踐模式，將每一份計畫視為建築——以意圖設計，以清晰為結構，並為跨越世代而建。
「建立傳承，塑造未來。」

我們的思考方式
指導每一個決策的原則。
家庭所依賴的法律架構是深度個人化的——它們承載著關於孩子、財富、身份認同與延續的決定。這就是為什麼我們的方法始於理解，而非文件。

為何創立此事務所
法律是情感的，而不僅僅是技術的。

我們的思考方式
指導每一個決策的原則。
以清晰取代複雜
我們將法律架構提煉為易於理解、目的明確的框架。
以系統取代文件
信託的效力，取決於其周圍的整個生態系統。我們設計的是整個系統。
以預防取代應對
最好的法律工作，發生在問題出現之前——而非之後。
