Benefits of Trusts and Trust Administration

There are many benefits to having a trust as part of your comprehensive estate plan. Not only can you effectively protect your family and assets, but:

• Having a trust can save you thousands of dollars in attorney's fees in the future by avoiding probate and clearly specifying how and when the trust is to be distributed.

A trustee is the one who handles requests of the trust and completes any administration that occurs before or after the death of the individual who established the trust.

• If no trust was in place, the estate would be handled in probate court. This would require the attention of an attorney, potentially taking a long period of time before the matter is settled.
• Trust administration is private so there is no public record in court. This is important to some clients who wish to maintain absolute privacy regarding their assets and estate.
• Large estates can be saved estate taxes by protecting assets and funding trusts according to gifting laws and other estate tax laws.
