Flaherty Jones Thompson Focuses on Wills & Trusts

Wills and trusts are often created at the same time. Writing a will allows you designate to whom you will leave your assets (your beneficiaries) as well as how that is done (outright or in trust, for example). Trusts for children and other beneficiaries can be a great tool to protect the beneficiaries from others, and in some cases to protect the beneficiaries from themselves. Revocable trusts can also be a great tool to plan for incapacity and avoid the necessity of a guardianship or to avoid probate.

Your estate plan is one of the most important things you will ever do for your family. A comprehensive plan with legally enforceable documents will protect your property and loved ones when the inevitable happens.
