A Trust is a legal device that protects your assets while you are alive, and provides a framework for the disposition of the assets at a time of your choosing. More specifically, a Trust is a legal entity that holds title or ownership to real estate, vehicles, investments, money, and other assets. When set up properly, a Trust may help reduce your current tax burden, and that of your estate after your passing.

When incorporated into your estate plan, a Trust provides you with substantial control over who will receive your estate’s distributions, when, and on what terms. It also protects your estate and legacy from your heirs’ creditors and can help them avoid lengthy probate.

There are a variety of Trusts which fall under the broad terms of revocable trust—which can be amended while you’re still living—and an irrevocable trust which cannot be changed. When you work with experienced estate planning professionals like our team at Wayland Law, we can help you determine the types of trust that would be most beneficial to your overall estate plan.
