Solutions Tailored to Your Needs

Wills

Wills are the foundation, ensuring your assets are distributed as you wish and that guardianship for minor children is established.

Revocable Trusts

Revocable Trusts allow you to manage assets during your life, avoid probate, and easily adapt to changing circumstances.

Irrevocable Trusts

Irrevocable Trusts offer protection from creditors, reduce estate taxes, and ensure assets are passed down as intended.

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs)

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs) ensure life insurance benefits are transferred to your heirs without tax burdens, providing liquidity for estate expenses.

Asset Protection Trusts

Asset Protection Trusts shield your wealth from lawsuits, creditors, and other risks, giving you control and security over your financial legacy.

Wills

A will outlines how you wish your assets to be distributed upon your passing and who will care for minor children. It’s straightforward, allowing you to name beneficiaries, assign an executor, and specify any special bequests. A well-drafted will can simplify the probate process, providing clarity and reducing the potential for disputes among heirs.

Revocable Trusts

A revocable trust is a flexible estate planning tool allowing you to manage assets during your lifetime. Since it can be altered or revoked, it adapts to your evolving life situation. Upon your passing, assets held in the trust bypass probate, enabling quicker distribution to your beneficiaries while maintaining privacy and potentially reducing costs.

Irrevocable Trusts

An irrevocable trust transfers your assets out of your ownership to shield them from creditors and estate taxes. Once established, it cannot be modified, which makes it a strong tool for wealth protection and tax benefits. Common uses include providing for loved ones, ensuring long-term care, and maintaining special purpose funds.

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs)

ILITs remove life insurance proceeds from your taxable estate, ensuring your heirs receive the maximum benefit. The trust owns the policy, and upon your death, the proceeds are directed by the terms of the trust. This provides funds to pay estate taxes, debts, or other expenses without affecting your estate’s assets.

Asset Protection Trusts

Asset protection trusts are designed to shield assets from potential legal challenges, such as creditors or lawsuits. By transferring ownership into the trust, these assets become separate from your personal estate, providing a layer of protection. They are useful for those in high-liability professions, business owners, and anyone seeking to secure their wealth from future uncertainties.
