HOW TO LEAVE A LEGACY FOR YOUR FAMILY AND PROTECT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY

Knowing the “insider details”of good estate planning could mean...

Saving Thousands of Dollars for You and Your Family and Giving You Real Peace of Mind

There's so much confusion today on what is good estate planning. Our firm is dedicated to helping people understand the many myths about estate planning, learn their options, and make decisions that are right for them.

Most people already know what probate is...the legal process that your family has to go through when you die if you use a will to plan your estate. What they do in probate court is decide if your will is valid, handle disputes, distribute the assets and tie up any loose ends. The problem with it is that it can be incredibly expensive, time consuming and an unwelcome invasion of privacy.

A Fate Perhaps Worse Than Death

More and more, the biggest problem you face as you grow older, is not so much what happens when you die, but what happens when you can't take care of yourself.

An increasing number of Americans each year are suffering accidents, strokes, and afflictions such as Alzheimer's disease that are forcing them out of control of their lives and finances.

Don’t Think it Can’t Happen to You!

In such a situation, before you or your family could even touch any of your assets—to take care of you or support themselves— someone would have to be appointed your legal guardian. This is done through a legal process called guardianship which, like probate, can be extremely costly, time-consuming, and upsetting to all involved. And after it's done, scrupulously accurate financial reports must be filed for the rest of your life.

The good news is, you can completely eliminate the chance of probate or guardianship ever happening to your family. The way to do this is by using a document that's been around for centuries ... it's called a Revocable or Living Trust.

Here’s How It Works

When you set up your living trust you transfer the title of all your assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) from your name to the name of the trust. You then name yourself as the trustee and beneficiary. That gives you, and you alone, total and complete control of all your assets. Here's the beauty of it. When you die, there will be no assets left in your name and therefore, no probate for your family to endure. Whomever you name as your successor trustee will immediately gain control of your assets to distribute them according to your exact instructions ... with no waiting, no public record, and no lawyer's fees!

In addition, during your life, your designated successor trustee can take over control of your assets that you place in your living trust and therefore eliminate the need for guardianship over your estate.

Living trusts are by far the most flexible and powerful estate planning tools known anywhere. Here are a few of the things they can enable you to do: set up stipulations or age requirements for children to receive any money, provide for major expenses as they come up, such as medical bills, and tuition, pay the income of the trust to someone to live on indefinitely, pay the expenses of a disabled person for whom you may be providing, protect grandchildren from a previous marriage (who are often squeezed out of wills), and more! Also, since your living trust is "revocable" you can add to it, delete it, alter it, or terminate it any time you wish.
