What if You Become Disabled or Incapacitated?
A trust can help you avoid probate and protect your assets. It can also protect your assets and finances for your surviving spouse if you become disabled or incapacitated. In many families, one spouse handles all of the bills and finances. When that spouse is no longer able to perform those tasks, a trust can provide financial protection to the surviving spouse. This allows a professional to work with the surviving spouse to pay the bills and provide financial support into the future.
Providing for Children and Dependants
A trust, sometimes referred to as a trust fund, can provide financial support to your children. If you are a single parent, it can allow you to provide a stand-in financial parent who can manage the assets in line with your goals.
In today's world, it is equally important for those caring for their own parents. If you have parents or elderly relatives who are dependent on you for support and assistance, a trust can provide financial protection and care if something happens to you.
Why Create a Trust Now?
When you are healthy, estate planning may be far from your mind. However, it is important to create a plan and establish a trust as soon as possible. You never know when tragedy may strike, and a trust created by a healthy adult is less likely to be challenged than one created by someone after an accident or an illness.
Dying without an estate plan in place can leave your loved ones to deal with the long expensive probate process. We can help you create a plan that fits your needs and helps you avoid probate, estate taxes and provide for your family.
