Using Trusts To Achieve Your Estate Planning Goals

When developing your estate plan, you should consider including one or more trusts, especially if you own substantial assets. Trusts are powerful tools that can help you control your property while you are still alive and ensure a smooth transfer to your beneficiaries.

Trusts Available In Georgia

There are several types of trusts. The primary categories are revocable and irrevocable trusts.

With a revocable trust, you have the power to change or revoke the trust during your lifetime. An irrevocable trust cannot be altered. Assets in an irrevocable trust are safe from your creditors, while property in a revocable trust is not shielded from collection actions.

Other common trusts include:

• Special needs trusts
• Charitable trusts
• Spendthrift trusts

After learning what you and your family need out of your estate plan, Attorney Lerman will explain how to use one or more trusts to achieve your goals. He will help you establish your trust and show you how to populate it with the property you seek to pass on. And whenever a change needs to be made, turn to Craig Lerman for honest, efficient assistance.
