Before The Documents

Step 1: What Job Should The Trust Do?

Avoid probate, improve privacy, or simplify administration. Remove assets from the taxable estate or manage estate tax exposure. Provide for a spouse while controlling where assets go later. Protect children or beneficiaries from poor decisions, divorce, creditors, or conflict. Coordinate a residence, family property, or vacation home. Explore Medicaid or long-term-care asset protection. Support a disabled or special-needs beneficiary. Coordinate charitable, income, or legacy goals.
