  • What is the difference between estate planning and estate administration?

    Estate planning is the term we use to describe the set of legal documents that determine what happens to the things you own upon your passing and who will be in control of that process. In addition, a comprehensive plan will also name who will make decisions for you if at some point you are unable to make your own decisions about your health or finances.

  • Why do people create Trusts?

    Many people choose to create Trusts to protect their savings and quality of life now and ensure the inheritance they leave behind makes it safely into the right hands after they pass.

  • What is a Trust and how do Trusts work?

    A Trust is a legal entity in which one party (the trustmaker) gives another party (the trustee) the right to hold and control property for the benefit of a third party (the beneficiary). Like an individual, a Trust can own, buy, and sell accounts and property, as well as distribute income. Learn more about Trusts.
