Protecting Your Assets With The Right Estate Planning Tools
If you were involved in a car accident tomorrow, would your family know what to do with your house and belongings? Would they know how you’d like your assets divided? Would they even know where to look for your will or directions on what to do next?
Estate planning is all about planning ahead for possible emergencies and eventual realities. The trick is knowing which estate tools will achieve your goals. Beltrano Law, LLC, in Riverside will help you choose the most appropriate tools for the job. Led by Michelle Beltrano, a lawyer with a background in helping Connecticut and Westchester County families with end-of-life decisions, our firm offers personalized guidance to ensure your family knows what to do should the worst come to pass.
Do I Need A Trust?
Trusts have many advantages in that they can protect assets from the probate process and onerous estate taxation. However, whether or not you need one depends on several factors, like whether you have the time and means to fund a trust, and what your ultimate goals are.
There are also several kinds of trusts, each with its own unique purpose, so setting one up on your own is likely to backfire. We routinely help families set up special needs trusts to protect the welfare of adults and children with disabilities. We can also determine whether any of the following trusts may benefit you:
- Revocable and irrevocable trusts
- Asset protection trusts and trusts for tax mitigation
- Charitable trusts
- Spendthrift trusts
