One of the major centerpieces to an estate plan is a revocable trust!
Without a revocable trust created by a competent trust and estate planning lawyer, your loved ones face a potentially complex, expensive, and messy legal process known as probate. The more you plan in advance, the easier the process will be for your loved ones. Including a revocable trust can be a very wise move.
Imperative For Estate Planning in Minnesota
When it comes to estate planning, there is no shortage of options. One of the centerpieces in many estates is a revocable trust.
Probate in Minnesota typically takes months or even years and can be very expensive. In more populous estates, probate may cost tens of thousands of dollars. Far too often, probate causes major conflicts between family members as they stand in front of a judge and argue their rights to the assets you’ve left behind. Setting up a trust with the help of an experienced attorney can help to head off these situations. The most popular type of trust is a revocable trust.
What is a Revocable Trust?
Think of a revocable trust as a kind of legal “container” you create with the counsel of an attorney. You place some or all of your assets into this container, and throughout your lifetime you are both the trustee, or “manager” of the container, and the beneficiary, or recipient of everything the container has inside it. If you are married, you might decide to make your spouse an equal trustee and beneficiary.
When you pass away, a new trustee, whom you selected in advance, is handed the container. Often that’s a family member or trusted loved one, but it could be a professional trustee. The role of a trustee is to distribute the assets from the trust to the beneficiaries you listed within it. If done properly with the help of a trust attorney, a trust may help to avoid any legal disputes, court hearings, or additional fees. Your loved ones will receive your assets exactly in the way you wanted.
Because a revocable trust is just that revocable you can modify it as often as you like during your lifetime. To create a professional revocable trust, be sure to hire a trust and estate planning lawyer to make sure your hard-earned assets go to the right people, the right way, at the right time.
