Revocable and irrevocable trusts to protect assets, avoid probate, and reduce taxes.
Trusts offer benefits that a will alone cannot — avoiding probate, protecting assets from creditors, providing for beneficiaries with special needs, and minimizing estate taxes. Whether you need a simple revocable living trust or a more complex irrevocable arrangement, our attorneys design trust strategies that fit your family's goals.
We handle trust creation, funding, administration guidance, and amendments throughout your lifetime.
A will goes through probate — a public, court-supervised process that can take months. A properly funded trust transfers assets privately and immediately upon death. For many families, a combination of both provides the strongest protection.
It depends on your goals. If you want to avoid probate, protect assets from creditors, provide for a special needs beneficiary, or manage assets for minor children beyond basic guardianship, a trust adds significant value. For modest estates with straightforward distribution, a will may be sufficient.
A revocable trust can be changed or dissolved during your lifetime and doesn't protect assets from creditors. An irrevocable trust generally cannot be changed once created, but it offers asset protection and can reduce estate taxes. Each serves different purposes.
