No one likes
to think about dying or becoming incapacitated. Because of this,
most people die or become mentally incapacitated leaving their estate
affairs is utter chaos. Loved ones are left with the unnecessary
expense and delay of sorting out the estate in probate court. With
a Living Trust this can all be easily avoided. Through the use of
this popular estate planning tool anyone can provide for the orderly
distribution of their estate to their loved ones and select the
individual(s) who will manage their financial affairs should they
become unexpectedly incapacitated.
With a Living
Trust your financial affairs remain private. With a properly funded
Living Trust there is no need for probate and, unlike a Will, your
estate plan does not become part of a court file open to viewing
by anyone as a matter of public record. An advantage for younger
couples is that they can dictate who will manage the estate for
their children while they are minors. A major benefit of a Living
Trust is that in many states, holding title in a Living Trust affords
the property owner a more favorable capital gains treatment by IRS.
COMPLETE OUR LIVING TRUST QUESTIONNAIRE:
The first of the three step process
in creating your Living Trust is for you to provide the lawyer who
will be drafting your trust with some necessary information. When
completing the questionnaire, take your time and give careful consideration
as to whom you desire to manage your estate in the event of your
incapacity or make your desired distributions upon death.
YOUR RESPONSES ARE REVIEWED BY A
LAWYER
Unlike the other internet legal service
providers, SPRINGER & POLLOCK is an actual law firm where the information
you provide is reviewed by a lawyer. At SPRINGER & POLLOCK, your
trust is not merely a boiler plate document completed by some so-called
legal professional. The trust and accompanying documents are
drafted by a licensed attorney with no less than 20 years experience
in the area of estate planning and Living Trusts.
FINAL STEP
It generally takes no more than 48
hours to complete a trust and send it on to the client via UPS.
The Living Trust and the accompanying documents are printed on 32lb
high quality bond paper and comes in a three ringed estate plan
binder. Accompanying the Living Trust are easy to follow instructions
for transferring various assets into your trust together with sample
letters to send to bankers, stock brokers, insurance agents, etc.
There is no charge for completing the
questionnaire. Should you wish to have SPRINGER & POLLOCK draft
