Trusts & Estates
|
|
The law of trusts and estates is generally considered the body of law which governs the management of personal affairs and the disposition of property of an individual in anticipation of the event of such person's incapacity or death, also known as the law of successions in civil law. Its techniques are also used to fulfil the wishes of philanthropic bequests or gifts through the creation, maintenance and supervision of charitable trusts. Estate planning can help reduce one's estate tax liability, which, for large estates, can account for over 45% of your wealth! Through the execution of an estate plan, individuals or couples can direct who will manage and receive their assets after their death. In addition, the Trustor can avoid the lengthy and costly process of Probate, thereby saving their beneficiaries time and money. |
The law of trusts and estates generally involves the management of finances, property, and succession of wealth, both during life and after death. This area of law incorporates General Estate Planning, Estate & Gift Tax Planning, Trust Administration, and Probate.
Through Estate Planning, individuals and couples can direct who will manage and receive their assets after death, and can save their beneficiaries money by avoiding the probate process.
