Tailored Trusts to Fit Your Goals
Maybe you want to control how and when beneficiaries receive funds, for example, releasing money gradually or ensuring it’s used for college tuition. Or perhaps you’re interested in planning for special needs or philanthropic goals.
As a seasoned living trust attorney, I explain all options clearly, from testamentary trusts (set up after death via a will) to living trusts established during your lifetime. I also assist with irrevocable trusts, which can offer tax advantages and asset protection.
How Often Should You Update Your Living Trust?
Life changes, new family members, divorces, inheritances, or business ventures. Your living trust should evolve with these changes. Just like insurance, regularly updating your trust ensures it continues to meet your needs and protect your legacy.
With over 30 years serving Ohio families, I’m ready to help you keep your trust current and effective.
