Trusts and Estate Planning Services

Welcome to the Law Office of Robert J. Warren, P.A., where we specialize in crafting comprehensive trust solutions tailored to your unique financial and family circumstances. Trusts are powerful legal tools that allow you to protect your assets, provide for your loved ones, and ensure your wishes are carried out, even after you are gone. Trusts can also be used to ensure that your needs are properly cared for in the event of your incapacity. We are dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of trust planning and creation.

Why Choose Trusts in Your Estate Plan?

Trusts offer a range of benefits, including:

1. Asset Protection: Safeguard your wealth from creditors, lawsuits, and other potential threats.

2. Probate Avoidance: Assets held in trusts typically avoid the costly and time-consuming probate process, ensuring a smoother transition for your heirs.

3. Privacy: Trusts offer a level of privacy that public wills do not, as they are typically not part of the public record.

4. Control: Specify how and when your assets are distributed to beneficiaries, ensuring your wishes are upheld.

5. Incapacity Planning: Trusts can be used to manage assets if you become incapacitated, ensuring your personal care and financial well-being is maintained.

6. Tax Efficiency: Certain trusts can help reduce estate taxes, benefiting your heirs.

Our Trust Creation Process:

Drafting a proper trust can be a daunting task for those who are not familiar with legal jargon and procedures.

6. Funding the Trust: We guide and assist you in transferring assets into the trust, an essential step to ensure they are protected.

7. Ongoing Maintenance: Through our annual maintenance program (optional), we provide guidance on trust management and updates. For an annual fee we will make any requested revisions, as well as perform any additional funding that is required (filing and/or recording costs are payable separately).
