Do You Need a Trust?
There is a huge misconception about trusts, that they are documents only for the very wealthy. In fact, trusts can protect those with modest assets as well. The fact is that more and more families are turning to trust based planning for their estate plans because the benefits of trusts are as diverse and wide ranging as the resources and objectives of the families that use them.
A trust can:
- Assist if you are no longer able to manage your financial affairs
- Establish terms as how and when your beneficiaries receive their inheritance
- Protect blended families
- Provide for and protect your spouse after you’re gone
- Create privacy for you and your family by avoiding the probate process
- Reduce estate or income taxes and probate expenses
- Accelerate the ability to distribute assets
- Designate assets to a favorite charity
