A proper estate plan is only complete when you designate individuals to follow through on your wishes. Unlike wills, trusts afford the benefit of avoiding probate, a lengthy and costly legal process that oversees the transfer of assets. Setting up a living trust is the best way to avoid the costs and frustrations of probate at death. Properly created revocable trusts are implemented by individuals while living for their benefit and for the benefit of children and beneficiaries after one dies. When death occurs, your estate plan should be designed to protect the assets for the surviving spouse and for beneficiaries. When a spouse dies we assist the surviving spouse to implement the wishes of the decedent. We also assist successor trustees with the responsibilities they have upon the death of a trustee. If you serve as a trustee or as a personal representative of a decedent’s estate, you assume responsibilities.
Administering a trust can be a lot of work and not all duties will apply to each situation. Contact us to discuss how we can help you serve as successor trustee.
