Legal Services Across a Range of Trust Types
There are many types of estate trusts, each designed to meet specific needs and situations. Understanding your options is key to choosing the right structure for your unique circumstances. We’ll help you identify and establish the trust that best supports your estate planning goals.
- Revocable living trusts: A revocable living trust helps you stay in control of your assets during your lifetime and ensures a seamless transfer when you’re gone, without the cost and delay of probate. With this kind of trust, you can avoid probate court, keep your affairs private and make simple updates as life changes.
- Life insurance trusts (ILITs): A life insurance trust holds your life insurance policy outside of your taxable estate, so your beneficiaries get more of what you intended. An ILIT is useful if you have a significant life insurance policy, want to reduce estate taxes and need to protect proceeds for minors or special needs beneficiaries.
- Domestic asset protection trusts (DAPTs): A DAPT is a powerful legal tool designed to protect your assets from future lawsuits, creditors or financial risks while still giving you access to the trust under certain conditions. It can help you guard your assets from personal liability, protect inheritances or savings from divorce or lawsuits and preserve wealth for future generations.
- Foreign asset protection trusts (FAPTs): This trust takes your asset protection strategy offshore, putting legal distance between your wealth and potential threats. It can offer stronger protection than domestic trusts and can be useful for high-net-worth individuals or high-liability professions.
- Advanced Estate Planning Techniques: We design complete estate plans for high-net-worth clients who have potential estate tax liabilities using advanced estate planning techniques such as GRATs, QPRTs, FLPs, and various types of charitable trusts.
