Trusts

We Can Help You Start a Trust

For many families, setting up a trust to preserve and distribute financial assets according to the exact desires of the estate holder is the keystone of estate planning. In many cases, however, a trust may not be necessary, and may actually prevent a fair distribution of assets, if not set up properly. How you go about setting up and administering the terms of your family trust can mean the difference between an effective means of reducing probate taxes and losing assets unnecessarily.

We will help you take care of family members who can't care for themselves

We are a family-oriented law firm that understands the importance of standing up to protect minors and vulnerable adults who cannot provide for themselves. Establishing a living trust or a special needs trust to care for the financial needs of a disabled child or adult is a great way to provide for their needs after you are gone. You can also file for conservatorship over the financial estate of a family member whom you feel may be vulnerable to elder abuse or fraudulent use of funds by others.
