Estate Plans:
Trust-Based
A Trust-Based Estate Plan allows you to create a flexible and comprehensive framework for managing your assets both during your life and after. Unlike a simple will, a trust offers privacy, avoids the probate process, and provides more detailed control over how and when your assets are distributed. Whether you’re ensuring financial security for your children or planning charitable giving, a trust can be tailored to reflect your unique goals.
At Johnson/Turner, we help you navigate these choices with ease. We’re here to explain the process in a way that’s clear and accessible, so you can feel confident in every decision you make.
Why Choose A tRUST-BASED ESTATE PLAN
Securing Your Family's Future
Choosing a Trust-Based Estate Plan offers several unique benefits that go beyond a traditional will. If you’re looking for a comprehensive and flexible way to manage your assets and ensure your loved ones are protected, a Trust-Based Estate Plan might be the right solution for you.
1. Strives to the Avoid Probate Process
One of the most significant advantages of a Trust-Based Estate Plan is that it allows your estate to bypass the probate process. Probate can be time-consuming, expensive, and stressful for your family. A trust ensures that your assets are distributed efficiently and privately, without court involvement.
2. Privacy and Control
Unlike a will, which becomes a public record once it enters probate, a Trust remains private. This means your financial affairs, beneficiaries, and distribution plans won’t be exposed to public scrutiny. A Trust also gives you greater control over how and when your assets are distributed, allowing you to set specific conditions, such as age requirements or milestones for your beneficiaries.
3. Flexibility and Protection
A Trust-Based Estate Plan provides flexibility to address life’s changes, whether that’s the birth of a new child, a shift in family dynamics, or new financial circumstances. It can be updated easily as your life evolves. Additionally, Trusts can offer protection for beneficiaries by shielding assets from creditors, divorce, or mismanagement.
4. Incapacity Planning
A Trust not only manages your assets after your passing, but it also provides for management if you become incapacitated. If you are unable to make decisions due to illness or injury, the Trust allows your appointed trustee to manage your affairs according to your wishes, without the need for court intervention.
5. Minimize Estate Taxes
For those with larger estates, a Trust-Based Estate Plan can be a valuable tool in minimizing estate taxes. By carefully structuring your trust, you can take advantage of tax-saving strategies that reduce the burden on your heirs and preserve more of your wealth for future generations.
6. Tailored to Your Needs
A Trust-Based Estate Plan is highly customizable, meaning it can be shaped to meet your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re planning for minor children, charitable giving, or a blended family, a Trust offers the versatility to ensure your wishes are followed exactly.
