FAQs

  • To put it very simply, a revocable trust, you can change, amend, or revoke. An irrevocable trust, you cannot. An irrevocable trust is the only type of trust which offers creditor protection, however, most people plan with revocable trusts so they continue to have access to their assets.

  • A revocable trust won’t avoid the estate tax. The trustmaker acts as trustee and can undo the trust at any time. They can dissolve it, take property back out of its ownership, or change its beneficiaries. Any income generated by a revocable trust is reported and taxed on the trustmaker’s personal tax return.

  • Yes, and it is called a “Pour-over Will”. This is a backup plan for the trust. If, for some reason, your trust isn’t funded properly and there’s an asset that we forget about out there that’s just in your individual name and it has to go through the probate process then your will is in place to help you and help the court figure out where that is going to go.

  • While trusts can seem to be more costly initially, the amount of money saved in avoiding probate costs after death or conservatorship costs in the event of incapacitation or guardianship if assets are left to a minor is significant. We offer flat fee pricing to meet your unique needs.

  • A trust can be amended to modify the substance of the trust (how it works, who it benefits, who serves as trustee) or it can be modified to change the formalities of the trust itself.

  • A common misconception is that you need a multi-million dollar estate to be helped by an estate plan. Estate planning also deals with making sure that your finances are taken care of if you are incapacitated, that decisions about your health care are carried out according to your wishes, and that your heirs are taken care of when the come comes. Estate planning is for everybody.
