WILLS AND TRUSTS: IS A WILL ENOUGH? WHAT MAY BE THE ADVANTAGE OF A TRUST?
The advantages of trusts have been exaggerated and somewhat overblown. Only your personal advisor can tell you which technique may be best for your situation. This session will discuss and define probate and wills, the use of trusts, and the advantages and disadvantages of a trust. A review of other probate avoidance measures will be discussed, as well as the use of beneficiary designations.
Future seminar topics include:
. Tax consequences in your estate
. Charitable giving and ethical wills.
*All of the sessions will have a short presentation, and allow for group discussion and questions. None of the seminars will be a solicitation for financial gifts, nor will they offer legal or tax advice. They are informational and educational only.
