How an Indianapolis Living Trust Attorney Can Help You

An Indianapolis living trust attorney can provide you with help in important ways. Some of the ways an attorney can assist you include:

• Determining if you should create a trust: Trusts are very powerful legal tools and they are versatile because they can be used to accomplish many goals including protecting your assets and ensuring your wealth is able to transfer quickly after your death. However, trusts aren’t the only tool that you might want to use as part of your estate plan and trust creation is not necessarily the right choice for everyone. It’s helpful to talk with a trust lawyer about whether a trust is even the right approach to achieve your aims.
• Helping you to decide what kind of trust to create: You have different options for creating a trust. You may want to create a revocable living trust if you hope to maintain flexibility and manage assets during your lifetime but want the trust to facilitate the passage of assets outside of the probate process after death. Or, you may decide that you want the stronger protections for your assets that an irrevocable trust can provide even if this means giving up a lot of control over your wealth. You may also come to the conclusion that you want to make a special type of trust, such as a spendthrift trust or a special needs trust because you have heirs or beneficiaries with special needs to address.
• Assisting in creating a legally valid trust document:  The last thing you want is to think you have a trust in place and that you’ll get the benefits from it, only to discover that you did not actually go through the formal process of creating  a legally valid trust. When you work with an attorney, you ensure that this does not happen to you.

There may also be other ways that a compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer can provide help depending upon your specific circumstances. The goal is always to make certain that you are taking the necessary steps to protect the money you’ve worked for and to provide the strongest possible future for yourself and the people you love.
