Trusts
Trusts have many different forms and functions.
There are many types of trusts; however, there are two categories: living and testamentary.
Living Trust – Like a will, a living trust will require you to transfer property after death to loved ones. It is called a living trust because it is created while the property owner, or trustor, is alive. However, unlike a will, a living trust passes property outside of probate court. There are no court or attorney fees after the trust is established.
Your property can pass immediately and directly to your named beneficiaries whenever needed.
Testamentary Trust is a trust that you create instructions from your will. You name a trustee (person in charge) and conditions that beneficiaries inherit. A testamentary trust does not avoid probate as it would be created upon your will instructions.
You can create wealth management from the grave by leaving more explicit instructions than in your will.
