Our attorneys have extensive experience helping clients determine their estate planning goals and meeting these goals through a variety of types of trusts.
- A descendant's trust may hold funds for a child until an age determined by you, or for a lifetime. You decide how the assets of the trust are controlled and distributed. For example, you may establish an education trust, specifically to cover the costs of college for your grandchildren.
- A charitable trust may be designed so that your estate never pays estate taxes. The trust may be set up in a variety of ways - the charity gets the proceeds of the trust income now and the family gets the trust assets later, or you can receive the income from the trust now and the remainder will go to the charity.
- A special needs trust may be established for loved ones who are elderly or disabled. This trust may also be called a discretionary trust, giving the trustee the discretion to distribute funds. The beneficiary cannot demand funds, so the trust does not affect means-tested benefits (Medicaid, SSI, etc.).
- Whatever your objectives, we design and establish a trust for you - tax planned trusts, special needs trusts, by-pass trusts or credit shelter, trusts for minors, marital A-B trusts, inheritance trusts, pet trusts, investment trusts, management trusts and more.
