Why Create a Trust?
There are many reasons to choose a trust as part of their estate plan.
Depending on your situation, a trust can help you:
- Manage your assets
- Protect your property
- Provide for your loved ones after you pass away
Types of Trusts We Handle
Our team has experience handling a variety of different trusts, including:
- Pet Trusts
These trusts provide for the care of pets. - Gun Trusts
These trusts allow for the legal ownership and transfer of firearms. - Living Trusts
Also known as revocable trusts, living trusts are created during the grantor's lifetime. They can be amended or revoked at any time, as long as the grantor is still alive and has the legal capacity to do so. - Children's Trusts
These trusts provide for minor children. - Charitable Trusts
These trusts support a specific charity or cause. - Irrevocable Trusts
As the name implies, irrevocable trusts cannot be amended or revoked after they are created. However, they offer certain benefits that living trusts do not. For instance, assets placed in an irrevocable trust are no longer considered part of the grantor's estate. This designation means they are not subject to estate taxes. Additionally, irrevocable trusts can also offer asset protection benefits. - Testamentary Trusts
These trusts are created under a last will and testament. They do not go into effect until the grantor has passed away. - Special Needs Trusts
These trusts provide for disabled individuals without disqualifying them from receiving public benefits.
Whether you need help creating a trust or administering one, our attorneys can help you navigate the process.
Why Hire a Trust Attorney?
While it is possible to create a trust on your own, there are a number of reasons to let a trust attorney help you through the process.
For one, trusts are legally binding documents, so it is important to make sure that they are drafted correctly. A simple mistake or oversight can lead to complications down the road, including trust litigation. When you work with an attorney, you can have peace of mind knowing that your trust has been properly created and is legally sound.
Additionally, an attorney can help you make sure that you have all the necessary documents in place, including a trust agreement, trustee, beneficiary designations, successor trustee, and pour-over will.
Finally, an attorney can help you understand the different types of trusts available and determine which one is right for you. They can also help you navigate the trust administration process, which can be complex and time-consuming.
