Helping You Protect Your Estate With a Trust

When you create a trust, you set up a new and separate legal entity. Any property (including money or other financial assets) that is transferred into the trust becomes the property of the trust. Since you no longer own it, it is not a part of your estate when you die and stays outside of the probate process.

I will help you determine the most appropriate type of trust to meet your needs. I will carefully explain the advantages and disadvantages of:

• Living trusts (going into effect during your lifetime) and testamentaryLiving or inter vivos trusts (going into effect during your lifetime) and testamentary trusts (created by your will upon your death)

In many situations, I can combine the use of a trust with a will, minimizing conflict between potential beneficiaries. For example, I can help you set up a spousal trust in conjunction with a will that distributes other (non-trust) property to children or others.
