Wills & Trusts
Wills are legal instruments which specify how you want your property distributed after death. Wills may also be used to direct funeral arrangements and charitable contributions. In the absence of a will, state law typically controls how an estate is to be divided, which may or may not be in accordance with your wishes.
Trusts are contractual arrangements that place control of assets in the hands of a third party (trustee). The trustee is charged with safe-guarding these assets and using them for specified purposes (example: investing funds and then paying them out at a specified time to named individuals). In certain circumstances, trusts also may be used to pass on property to future generations.
There are advantages and disadvantages to using wills and trusts. We can explain the differences and handle all formalities in preparing and executing a will or trust document. Our goal is to make certain that family, friends and loved ones are provided for in a manner consistent with your wishes.
