Estate planning can involve various legal tools, including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. Each option has unique advantages and limitations. Trusts often provide more control and privacy compared to wills, which undergo probate. Understanding these differences helps you select the best strategy for your situation. Our attorneys help you navigate these choices with informed advice.
If your estate is straightforward with few assets and beneficiaries, a simple will might suffice. This approach can provide clear instructions without the complexity of trust administration. However, it may not avoid probate or offer privacy.
For estates with limited tax exposure, basic planning tools like wills and powers of attorney can effectively manage asset transfer. Trusts might not be necessary if tax reduction is not a primary concern.

A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets are distributed after your death and often requires probate. A trust, however, places assets into a legal entity managed by a trustee for the benefit of your beneficiaries, often avoiding probate. Trusts can provide greater control and privacy compared to wills. They can also offer asset protection and continuity in management during your lifetime.
Yes, if you create a revocable trust, you can modify or revoke it at any time during your lifetime. This flexibility allows you to adapt your estate plan as your circumstances change. Irrevocable trusts, on the other hand, generally cannot be changed once established. Our attorneys help you decide which type of trust suits your needs and explain how modifications can be made when applicable.
A trust avoids probate because the assets are legally owned by the trust, not you personally, at the time of your death. This means the distribution of trust assets can occur without court supervision, saving time and expenses. Probate avoidance also helps maintain privacy, as trust details are not part of the public record. Proper funding of the trust is essential to ensure these benefits.
The trustee is the person or entity responsible for managing the trust according to its terms. You can appoint a trusted individual, a professional fiduciary, or a financial institution. It’s important to select someone reliable, organized, and capable of handling financial matters. We assist in evaluating potential trustees and explaining their duties and responsibilities.
Trusts can have tax implications depending on their type and structure. Some trusts are designed to minimize estate and income taxes, while others may be subject to taxation. Our attorneys work with tax professionals to create trust plans that align with your financial goals and comply with tax laws. Understanding the tax impact is a key part of effective trust planning.
Funding your trust involves transferring ownership of assets into the trust’s name. This can include real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal property. Proper funding is crucial to ensure the trust operates as intended. We guide you through the process of retitling assets and updating beneficiary designations to complete funding accurately.
If you become incapacitated, a properly drafted trust allows the trustee to manage your assets without court intervention. This can provide seamless financial management and care for your beneficiaries. It is important to establish powers of attorney and healthcare directives alongside your trust to cover all aspects of incapacity planning.
Certain trusts offer protection against creditors by legally separating assets from your personal ownership. This can help safeguard your estate from claims and lawsuits. The level of protection depends on the trust type and applicable laws. Our attorneys help you select and structure trusts to maximize asset protection within legal limits.
Reviewing your trust periodically ensures it remains up to date with your current wishes and changes in law. Life events such as marriage, divorce, births, or changes in assets may necessitate updates. We recommend reviewing your trust every few years or after significant life changes to maintain its effectiveness.
After your death, the trustee administers the trust according to its terms, distributing assets to beneficiaries as specified. The trust may continue to manage assets for minor or special needs beneficiaries. Proper administration helps avoid delays and disputes, ensuring your legacy is honored. Our attorneys are available to guide trustees through their duties.
