Frequently Asked Questions
Is an attorney-drafted trust worth the extra cost?
For larger or more complex estates, blended families, or business ownership, an attorney can tailor the trust and reduce the risk of costly errors that online templates might miss.
Does a living trust avoid all estate taxes?
No, a revocable living trust primarily helps avoid probate; it does not by itself reduce federal or state estate taxes. Irrevocable trusts and other strategies address tax planning.
What is a pour-over will?
A pour-over will works alongside a living trust to catch any assets not already titled in the trust's name and directs them into the trust upon death.
