AN INTRODUCTION TO TRUSTS
“Trusts? They’re for rich people.” We often hear this when we start a discussion about the role a trust can play in a family’s overall estate strategy.

Asset Protection In Estate Planning
You’re beginning to accumulate substantial wealth, but you worry about protecting it from future potential creditors. Whether your concern is for your personal assets or your business, various tools exist to keep your property safe from tax collectors, accident victims, healthcare providers, credit card issuers, business creditors, and creditors of others.
Trust Basics
Whether you’re seeking to manage your own assets, control how your assets are distributed after your death, or plan for incapacity, trusts can help you accomplish your estate planning goals. Their power is in their versatility-many types of trusts exist, each designed for a specific purpose.
