Trust Plans
Probate is a law suit taken out against your estate, paid for by your estate, for the benefit of your creditors. Probate often takes 9 months or more to complete, and will-based estate plans will require your loved ones to go through this long, expensive process in order to inherit your assets. A Trust-based plan can save your loved ones thousands of dollars in court costs and attorney fees, and it will get your assets passed quickly and seamlessly.
A trust can grow and change at any time you choose during your life, and it can provide more structure to the gifts that you leave behind.
