Kelsch Law Group

At KLKLAW GROUP, P.C., we believe that estate planning is a vital aspect of ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of in the event of your passing. As experienced estate planning attorneys, we offer a wide range of services designed to help individuals and families protect their assets, minimize taxes, and ensure their wishes are carried out.

Understanding Living Trusts

A living trust is a legal document created by you, the grantor, during your lifetime. It spells out exactly what you desire regarding your assets, dependents, and heirs. Unlike a will, a living trust bypasses the costly and time-consuming process of probate, allowing your successor trustee to carry out your instructions as documented in the living trust at your death or incapacitation.

We understand that everyone's situation is unique, and that's why we offer customized estate planning strategies tailored to your specific needs. Whether you have complex financial or personal circumstances, such as substantial assets, a blended family, or closely held business interests, our experienced attorneys can help you create a living trust that reflects your wishes.

Types of Living Trusts

There are two main types of living trusts: revocable and irrevocable. A revocable living trust allows you to transfer assets into the ownership of the trust, giving you control over those assets as the trustee. You can change or revoke the trust at any time. The assets in the trust pass directly to your beneficiaries without going through probate upon your death. An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, allows you to permanently and irrevocably give away your assets during your lifetime. This type of trust is typically only appropriate in extreme cases where you have excess wealth and want to reduce your taxable estate before your death.
