The benefits of planning with LIVING TRUSTS
A significant number of estate-planning techniques are implemented in the form of a trust. There are trusts designed to accomplish a host of planning alternatives. In our experience, however, very few clients we initially meet understand what trusts do, what they involve, and how they are structured. Trusts and how they are used are apparently seldom taught outside of the professional domain.
