Trusts

Preparing your assets for designation to your beneficiaries can be stressful. It can be difficult to determine exactly what they will need in the event of your passing.

 

Trusts carry one important factor that will help you achieve your future goals. That factor is the designation of a trustee. Trustees are appointed to hold assets for a beneficiary until you designate how and when the assets are available.

Our Trust Work Includes:

  • Trust development
  • Filing paperwork
  • Designation services
  • Choosing a successor trustee
  • Aid and distribution of trust assets

Trusts give you the ability to protect your wealth while still allowing you to carry on a legacy. At our firm, we will help you set up your trust and appoint a trustee who can be trusted to carry out your wishes. Trusts can help to avoid probate.

Probate

Opening a probate estate may be necessary to transfer assets that the deceased person owned in his or her own name, alone. All other assets, such as jointly owned assets or assets named to a trust with a "Pay on death beneficiary" clause, may pass to new owners without oversight from the probate court. Assets that go through probate make up what's called the "probate estate."
