A will allows you to state your wishes regarding the distribution of assets and the care of minor dependents. A will ensures that your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes. A will also prevents potential conflict after you pass away. We can help you prepare a will and give you peace of mind that your estate will be distributed properly. We encourage you to evaluate your will as your life changes. Please call us today to review your existing will as well.

TRUST: WHEN YOU NEED ONE

A trust is a legal document that offers more control over the distribution of your assets after your death. You pass your assets to a trustee, who holds them and distributes them to your beneficiaries according to your wishes. They are often used to minimize the impact of taxes on an estate plan and to spare beneficiaries from having to go through the probate court process.

Trusts can also allow you to set guidelines for how your assets will be distributed to beneficiaries. That means you can instruct the trustee to make scheduled payments to a beneficiary, rather than handing them a lump sum upon your death. For example, many people use a trust and schedule payments to younger heirs who are unable to properly manage funds.

Brad Stephens is an experienced will and trust lawyer who can assist you in drafting or updating these documents.

There are many benefits to using a trust. Contact probate lawyer Brad Stephens today to find out what's right for you and get started.
