You built a legacy worth protecting. Does your estate plan reflect that?
You've built a business. You're raising kids. You've got more moving pieces than the average estate plan is built to handle and a basic Will generally is simply not enough.
If something happened to you tomorrow, would your family know exactly what to do with your business? Would your children receive all of their inheritance in a lump sum at 18 years old? Would your family spend months, or years, in probate court just to access what you already built? A Revocable Living Trust may provide the answer to those questions.
What is a Revocable Living Trust and what does it do for you?
· Keeps your business out of probate court. Probate is public, slow, and expensive and for a business, it can mean frozen accounts, disrupted operations, and lost revenue while the court sorts things out. A properly funded trust lets your business (and everything else) pass directly to the people you choose, without a judge's involvement.
· Protects your minor children. A trust lets you put protective measures in place and lets you control not just who inherits, but when and how assets are distributed so your children aren't handed a business or a large inheritance the day they turn 18. You decide the age, the milestones, and the guardrails.
· Keeps your business running without you. Succession planning can be built into your trust, so there's a clear answer for who steps in, who can buy your share, and how your family keeps receiving income.
· Keeps your affairs private. Unlike a Will, a trust doesn't become part of the public record. Your family's finances and your business dealings stay private.
A Living Trust Is Especially Important If You:
- Own all or part of a business, even a small one
- Have children under 18
- Have a blended family or a remarriage
- Own real estate in more than one state
- Want to avoid your family going through probate court
- Haven't updated your estate plan since your business or family changed
