PRESERVE YOUR LEGACY WITH A LIVING TRUST

Building and protecting what you have earned takes hard work and can be all-consuming. You want what is best for your family and future. The final piece of your legacy is preserving it to ensure that what you created during your time is passed on to future generations.

A Living Trust is an estate plan that manages your assets during your lifetime and efficiently passes your estate to your chosen beneficiaries after your death. A properly drafted, signed, and fully funded Living Trust avoids Probate by removing assets from your name and titling them in your private Living Trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between a Will and a Living Trust?

    A Will must be filed in Probate Court and state your wishes to distribute your estate at your death. If you do not have a Will, the court controls distribution. A private Living Trust establishes complete control and protection of your estate now and after your death.

  • Why should Probate be avoided?

    Probate is costly, takes a long time, and the number of cases in the system makes it inefficient and burdens families. Probate requires a minimum six-month claims period. The entire process can tie up your estate for an average of 18 months or more, costing thousands of dollars. Learn more
