Is a Trust Really Needed?

Is a Trust Really Needed?

Mindy Felinton, Elder Law & Estate Planning Attorney, consistently receives a very valid question from her clients, “Why do I need a trust?”. The answer is…. Maybe I do, maybe I don’t! There are several factors to consider in having a Trust which can include:

  • Avoiding the enormous cost of Probate (we’re talking about over $25,000!)
  • Defined Executor of the Will which will avoid…
  • Family feuds and fighting causing legal battles and potential breakup of the family

 
Additionally, when you pass away, a Trust can be distributed automatically and more easily through the terms you have put in place. This can completely reduce those family feuds that can occur which frequently happen! Mindy has seen many instances of brothers and sisters fighting with each other causing unnecessary legal expenses and rifts within relationships.
