A living trust is a legal document that, just like a will, contains your instructions for what you want to happen to your assets when you die. But, unlike a will, a living trust can avoid probate at death, control all of your assets and prevent the court from controlling your assets if you become incapacitated.

Upon the death or incapacity of a trustmaker our law firm offers legal services to your successor Trustee. The Trustee is responsible for seeing that the assets of the trust are managed or distributed properly and in a timely manner. An overview of the valuable guidance we provide includes:

• Review of the trust document
• Gathering of all trust assets
• Explanation of Trustee responsibilities
• Estate Tax Analysis
• Collection of death benefits
• Creation of sub-trusts
• Dissolution of trust
