Protect Those You Love and Preserve What You Have

With every estate plan, we’re concerned with addressing three critical things:

1. Management

2. Preservation

Maximizing the amount of your assets that will be passed on to your beneficiaries, by paying the least amount possible in taxes, court costs and attorney fees.

3. Distribution

Having the right people receive the assets you’ve worked a lifetime to accumulate and save, instead of the people dictated by the law. Having those people receive the assets at the right time, appropriate to their age, needs, abilities, strengths and challenges.

What Happens If You Don't Make a Plan?

Without the right estate plan in place, you can lose control over critical components of your estate, and the consequences for you and your family for failing to address these issues can be devastating. A well-drafted and maintained estate plan, including a Revocable Living Trust, can achieve all of these objectives, while protecting your assets and your loved ones from risk

The Advantages of a Living Trust

A Living Trust is a legal document that can be used to allow you to maintain control of your assets during your lifetime, even if you become incapacitated and cannot manage your own financial affairs.

In addition, a Living Trust also allows the you to control the manner in which your assets will be distributed to loved ones after your death, taking into account the individual strengths and skills of each beneficiary, as well as the challenges that each one may face. Living Trust estate plans allow for an efficient administration of your estate, saving your family as much as possible in professional fees, court costs, and taxes and eliminating the risk of disagreements and disputes.
