Good evening Moreno Valley and welcome to Legal Insights. I’m your host, Maria Sanchez, and tonight we’re talking about estate planning with local expert Steve Bliss, a probate attorney right here in Moreno Valley.
Understanding Trusts: A Cornerstone of Estate Planning
Steve, thank you for joining us. Let’s start with the basics. Why are trusts such an important part of estate planning?
“Trusts are incredibly valuable tools,” explains Steve Bliss. “They allow individuals to control how their assets are managed and distributed after they pass away. This can provide peace of mind, knowing your loved ones will be taken care of according to your wishes.”
The Benefits of a Revocable Living Trust
Steve, let’s dive deeper into one specific type of trust – the revocable living trust. Can you tell us more about its advantages?
“Certainly,” says Steve. “A revocable living trust is a popular choice because it offers flexibility. The person creating the trust, known as the grantor, retains control over the assets during their lifetime. They can make changes to the trust terms or even dissolve it entirely if needed. Consequently, this allows for adaptability as circumstances change.”
He continues, “Moreover, a revocable living trust helps avoid the lengthy and costly probate process upon the grantor’s death. Assets within the trust are distributed directly to beneficiaries according to the grantor’s instructions, saving time and expense for their loved ones. Ordinarily, this streamlined process minimizes stress during an already difficult time.”
“I recall a client who was hesitant about setting up a trust,” shares Steve. “He thought it was only for wealthy individuals. But after explaining the benefits, particularly avoiding probate and ensuring his children received his assets without delay, he realized it was the right decision for him and his family.”
“According to the American Bar Association, over 50% of Americans do not have a will or trust in place. This can leave their families vulnerable to legal complications and financial hardship.”
Seeking Professional Guidance
Steve, what advice would you give to someone considering setting up a trust?
“My strongest recommendation is to consult with an experienced estate planning attorney,” emphasizes Steve. “Every situation is unique, and a lawyer can help determine the best type of trust for your specific needs and goals.”
