Why Do You Need Trust Lawyers?

There are many important reasons why you need trust lawyers. For example, you should strongly consider hiring a trust lawyer to:

  • Help you determine if you need a trust. There are lots of different estate planning tools. You want to make sure a trust is the tool you should use to accomplish your desired goal.  You also need to decide when to make a trust. For certain types of asset protection, like making sure you don’t lose assets because you need to go into a nursing home, making a trust earlier is better.
  • Assist you in determining what type of trust you need. There are irrevocable and revocable trusts. These provide different benefits. For example, revocable trusts can give you more flexibility but won’t protect your assets in the trust from estate tax or if you need to go into a nursing home.
  • Make sure the trust you create is legally valid. You have to follow formalities for the creation of a trust. Trust lawyers can assist in ensuring that you make a trust which will actually be enforced.

These are just some of the key reasons why you need trust lawyers. Trusts are such an important legal document, you cannot afford to take a chance and not make the right choices.  Having an attorney helps you make sure you are using trusts correctly to protect your assets and family.

  • Assist with trust creation. We will help you to take the necessary steps in New York to make a legally valid trust. We will also assist in making sure you have made smart and informed choices regarding who should serve as trustee.
  • Provide advice on the trust document. The trust document sets forth your instructions. We can help to make sure that you have provided all the details you need so your trustees can act in your best interests.
  • Help transfer assets to the trust. You need to decide what assets should transfer and go through the formal process of making sure you change ownership of those assets. The trust should become the new owner.
  • Offer assistance to trustees. Trust lawyers don’t just help trust creators. When someone is named a trustee, he or she has tremendous responsibilities to carefully manage trust assets. We can help.
