Do I need a family Trust?
Yes. Most people will benefit from a trust.
You are a parent. You have school-aged children, and you want them to avoid court-supervised guardianship.
You own real estate. A family trust will help your loved ones avoid the cost of probate administrations.
You have a special needs child. You want to create a disability plan that will keep you and your assets outside of a court-supervised guardianship.
You want to eliminate hassle for your heirs. You want to give your loved ones essentially immediate access to your property after you die instead of waiting 6-24 months to finally get access after the probate court.
You value privacy. You want to give your loved ones essentially immediate access to your property after you die instead of waiting 6-24 months to finally get access after the probate court.
Bottom Line: Trusts aren't just for rich people anymore.
"With a family trust, more of your hard-earned money goes to your children."
