Experienced Counsel When You Need It Most

Trusts have been used for many years as a means of protecting wealthy people from inheritance taxes and the lengthy and public probate process. Recently, living trusts have also become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional wills for the middle-class for the same purposes.

At Lifetime Legal , an experienced living trust lawyer can assist you with the complex process of establishing a living trust that is tailored to your specific needs. We will give you the personal attention you deserve to ensure that our legal solutions meet your living trust needs.

What Is a Living Trust?

A living trust is simply a trust you create while you are alive, rather than one that is created at your death under the terms of your will. A living trust can be amended or revoked during your lifetime. Generally, you appoint yourself as the first trustee who manages the living trust. Then you appoint successor trustees to take over managing the trust assets when you die or are incapacitated.

Living trusts are complex documents that are designed to cover a variety of issues and problems over the course of your entire lifetime. As such, it is advised that an experienced attorney whose practice focuses on estate planning help you create a living trust.
