Creating A Trust

Probate Services And Fees

If a Will is not right for you, then you should consider creating a living trust. Creating a trust can be very cost-effective and it is important to remember that certain trusts can be used to avoid the need to probate a Will after you die. Trusts can be used to hold assets for the benefit of designated heirs or beneficiaries. The person creating the trust appoints a trustee to manage the trust according to the terms of the trust.

A trust can start being effective when the person creating the trust is alive and then be terminated after the person who created it dies or remains effective after the death of its creator. Living trusts are an example of trusts that operate during the trust creator’s lifetime and terminate after death. All the assets put into the trust are owned by the trust not the heirs.
