Take Care of Your Children
Creating a Trust for minor children allows you to set rules for the use of your assets. For example, you can dictate that a child can access the funds only after they reach a certain age. Until your child reaches the designated age, the named trustee could be allowed to use funds in the Trust to pay for your children’s health care, education or upbringing. You could also, for example, stipulate that certain funds could only be used for college tuition payments.
Trusts are a great way to safeguard your children by making sure your money is protected and that it’s used to care for your kids according to your wishes. Depending on your family and your life, a provider lawyer can tailor a Trust to meet your specific needs. Each state has laws governing Trusts. Join LegalShield today and contact your provider law firm for assistance.
The Right Trust for Your Needs
Should you use a Living Trust, Testamentary Trust or a Revocable Trust?
There are a variety of types of Trusts and each one provides different benefits. Trusts can help you:
- Manage estate tax
- Designate heirs
- Care for children with special needs
- Care for minor children
- Give to charity
Assign Assets to Avoid Probate
Probate can take up to 2 years to resolve an estate, running up legal bills of more than $12,000, on average. Transferring assets to a Trust allows them to pass without the hassle of Probate. Trusts are a powerful tool to avoid Probate and are available for estates of any size.
