LIVING TRUST INFORMATION
presented by
The Wochner Law Firm

Most of us rarely think about the certainty of our own deaths. Estate planning forces us to face the financial, legal, and emotional consequences of death and to take action to minimize the impact on our families. If people were asked to summarize their estate planning wishes, most would simply say that:

• They want their estate to be distributed to the people they choose according to their wishes;
• They want to avoid excessive attorney's fees, court costs and unnecessary delays in passing on their property; and
• They want to avoid or at least minimize the payment of state and federal death taxes.

The most effective way to accomplish these goals is to establish a living trust.  As most people are only vaguely familiar with what a living trust is, take a quick second to familiarize yourself with the concept.  A trust is nothing more than a contract with yourself stating how the trust assets are to be handled.  This document can be tailored to most any situation.  Click here to learn more about what a living trust can do for you.  Please see FAQs for additional information.
