Leveraging The Powerful Advantages Of Trusts
As you acquire assets, build a family and move beyond the early stages of life, a trust can be your secret weapon to securing a stable future for you and your loved ones.
For many people, a well-designed revocable living trust offers the best option for lifetime protection, privacy, convenience and stability, while also allowing a spouse or children to avoid the delay and expense of the probate court process. Another option may be irrevocable trusts or testamentary trusts built into a will plan.

Significant Benefits Of Trust Planning
Make no mistake: A trust can be appropriate in both simple and complex circumstances. Some of the greatest potential benefits of a trust include:
- Avoiding probate — The probate process creates delays, requires public advertising and notification to heirs, and can result in substantial costs. Also, probate court records are freely accessible. Most people prefer to keep their affairs private.
- Minimizing taxes, fees and costs — Using a trust can help minimize taxes, fees and costs that would impact the value of the assets you pass on to your loved ones.
- Provide greater protection and control over a child’s inheritance — With a trust, you can put restrictions in place that can allow you to help restrain and protect a free-spending child.
- Asset protection — Trusts provide options to protect your assets against a number of possible dangers, including frivolous lawsuits, bankruptcy, divorce and other matters.
