Personal Trust

A Testamentary Trust ensures orderly distribution of assets as outlined in your Will. You may name anyone as beneficiary. This Trust provides for long-term management of estate assets and may provide estate-tax advantages.

A Living Trust provides you with control of your assets during your lifetime and allows for execution of your instructions upon your death.  You also avoid costs and delays associated with the probate process. Your assets are protected if you become ill or incapacitated.  Investment management and administrative services are provided.

A Life Insurance Trust, is an irrevocable, non-amendable trust which is both the owner and beneficiary of one or more life insurance policies. Upon the death of the insured, the Trustee invests the insurance proceeds and administers the trust for your beneficiaries. Proper ownership of life insurance is important if the insurance proceeds are to escape federal Estate taxation.
