Trusts

Creating a Sustainable Future for Your Heirs

A trust is an arrangement where a trustee manages property or assets until your heir, the beneficiary, is ready to assume the property.

Commonly, people think of a trust as being an inheritance “account” for an underage child where the child gains access upon reaching a certain age or under certain conditions. This sort of trust is known as a testamentary trust.

Nevertheless, trusts can serve a wide range of needs from asset protection to inheritance.

Estate Planning and Trusts

Many clients are interested in establishing a revocable living trust in lieu of creating a will, allowing their heirs to avoid probate court. This is an option that we can help you explore, though it does not necessarily prove beneficial to everyone. While it automatically transfers your property to your named beneficiaries and avoids probate, it can prove to be more expensive or more time consuming.
