Some people find that their estate planning goals cannot be accomplished through a simple will. In these cases, trust creation can play an important role in helping people control and distribute their assets to those they love.
 
Trusts can offer benefits over traditional forms of asset transfers and inheritance, including the ability to maintain privacy, avoid probate, exercise more control over assets, and reduce tax implications. Some of the common types of trusts we draft for clients include revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, testamentary trusts, Medicaid asset protection trusts, and supplemental or special needs trusts.

Trusts can be constructed for almost any situation, and the setup will depend upon your wishes and your beneficiaries’ needs. It is important that you have an estate attorney with knowledge of the different types of trusts that can be used to protect your legacy. At Bridget Dyer Law, we help clients understand how trusts work and how to maximize their effectiveness. We then work together with clients to draft and formalize the most appropriate and effective solutions.
