The Living Trust

The Living Trust

Did you know the living trust is rooted in English law upon which our legal system was founded.  We have the constitutional right to create a Living Trust for our heirs.  Is one of the most versatile estate preservation tools available.

It can:

1) avoid the high cost and lengthy process of probate

2) upon death, allow quick distribution of trust assets to your family

3) preserve your estate from unnecessary federal estate tax

4) provide for the support and education of minor children, or grandchildren

5) insure you retain maximum control over your property and estate

6) avoid conservatorship or guardianship if you become incompetent

7) maintain the continued privacy of your affairs

8) can be changed by you at any time Is far more than a series of documents. It is the foundation of a comprehensive estate preservation program, designed to transfer your assets to your beneficiaries with minimum anxiety, cost, or complication.

Call us to see if a living trust is right for your situation. 408-957-0807
