Why do I need a trust?
Having a trust ensures your wishes for the distribution of your assets are carried out after your passing, and it helps protect family assets from future division in the event of a divorce.
How is a trust different from a will?
A will is a simple legal document that provides instructions on how to distribute property to beneficiaries after death, while a trust is a complex legal contract that allows you to transfer your property to an account managed by another person.
Why do I need a trust if I can just title all assets in joint ownership?
With a trust, you can avoid the probate process and ensure your wishes are carried out without the risk of a joint owner making a different decision.
How do I set up a trust?
Contact City Wealth Management, and our team and an attorney of your choice will work together to set up your trust. If you don’t have an attorney, we can recommend one.
What is the difference between a revocable and irrevocable trust?
A revocable trust can be changed at any time by the grantor during their lifetime, as long as they are competent. An irrevocable trust usually can’t be changed without a court order or the approval of all the trust’s beneficiaries.
