A trust may be an integral part of a comprehensive estate plan and may help you avoid conservatorship and probate. Trusts designate who will administer distribution of the assets of the trust after your passing or if you become incapacitated. As an experienced estate planning and probate law firm, our role is to assist with:

• Administering and executing the terms of the trust
• Managing assets for the benefit of individuals who lose their decision-making capacity
• Distributing assets after your passing
• Representing you in the event of a lawsuit against an individual attempting to alter the terms or conditions of a trust
• Defending your interests if you are a beneficiary named in a trust

Difference Between Types Of Trusts

There are two primary types of trusts:

• Revocable trusts: This document designates an individual to distribute your assets after your passing or to manage your assets for your benefit if you become incapacitated. As the name implies, this document can be altered throughout your lifetime.
• Irrevocable trusts: This type of trust cannot be modified or adjusted once it has been signed. In some instances, an irrevocable trust offers significant tax advantages.
