Frequently Asked Questions About Trust and Estate Planning

Q: What is comprehensive estate planning?

A: Comprehensive estate planning is the process of preparing for the transfer of your assets and wealth after your death, or in the event you become incapacitated. It involves creating legal documents that specify how your estate will be managed and distributed. This typically includes a last will and testament, trusts, and powers of attorney. By working with an estate planning attorney, you ensure that your wishes are honored, your beneficiaries are protected, and potential taxes and probate costs are minimized.

Q: What is a trust and how does it work?

A: A trust is a legal arrangement where one party, known as the trustee, holds and manages assets for the benefit of another party, known as the beneficiary. There are various types of trusts, including revocable trusts and irrevocable trusts. A revocable living trust, for example, can be altered or revoked by the grantor during their lifetime, while an irrevocable trust generally cannot be changed once established. Trusts can help avoid probate, provide privacy, and offer control over when and how your assets are distributed.

Q: What are the different types of trusts?

A: There are several types of trusts, each serving different purposes. Some common types include: revocable living trusts, which can be changed during the grantor’s lifetime; irrevocable trusts, which cannot be modified after creation; special needs trusts, designed to benefit individuals with disabilities without affecting their eligibility for government benefits; and testamentary trusts, which are created through a will and come into effect after the grantor’s death. Understanding the various types of trusts can help you determine which is best for your financial situation.

Q: How can I set up a trust?

A: To set up a trust, you’ll need to work with an experienced estate planning attorney. The process typically involves defining the purpose of the trust, choosing a trustee, and drafting the trust document. During this process, you will specify the assets to be included in the trust, which may encompass real estate, financial accounts, investments, personal property, and other valuable assets that you wish to protect and manage according to your specific wishes.
