Harness the Power of Trusts with Expert Estate Planning
When considering estate planning, one can’t ignore the strategic value that trusts offer. A trust can give you the power to control how your assets are distributed, offering a level of customization and protection that can be extremely advantageous. However, the landscape of trusts can be intricate and multifaceted. That’s where our team can guide you. We understand the nuances of different types of trusts and can help you navigate their complexities to meet your unique needs.
A trust is a fiduciary relationship in which a trustee holds and manages assets for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries. It can be created while you’re alive (a living trust) or upon your death as stipulated by your will (a testamentary trust). They are traditionally used to avoid probate, reduce estate taxes, protect assets from creditors or lawsuits, and provide for a special needs loved one.
There are numerous types of trusts, each with distinct advantages and specifications. Revocable living trusts, for example, offer flexibility in that the terms can be changed or even canceled by the trust-maker during their lifetime. On the other hand, an irrevocable trust, once established, generally cannot be altered without the consent of the beneficiaries.
If you are a parent, consider a testamentary trust incorporated into your will to provide for your children until they reach an age when you feel they will be mature enough to handle their inheritance.
For tax advantages, consider an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT). This can remove your life insurance from your taxable estate, helping to preserve more of your estate for your heirs.
If you have a loved one with special needs, a special needs trust can provide them with resources without jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits.
Charitably inclined? A charitable remainder trust can provide income for you or your heirs for a period of time before the remainder goes to a charitable organization.
