TRUSTS
Plan Confidently with Flexible Trust Options
Safeguard your legacy and protect your loved ones through strategic trust planning. I am here to guide you through turning your vision of protecting your loved ones and your assets into a reality.
Guiding Your Vision into Reality
You do not need to come to me with the whole path mapped out. That’s my job. You just need to be ready to discuss your big-picture goals and the needs of your loved ones. With that, we will talk through options and create a plan tailored to you.
Every individual’s situation is unique. Your trust should be personalized to your specific needs, reflecting your values, shielding your assets from potential risks, and minimizing tax burdens.
Understanding Your Goals and Needs
Beyond the financial planning component, trusts take into consideration family circumstances and beneficiary’s needs. For instance, if you have children from a prior relationship, a trust can ensure your new spouse is cared for while leaving any remaining assets to your children. If you have a loved one with a disability, a special needs trust ensures funds are available to care for their needs without disqualifying them from government assistance. Your family cabin can be preserved for generations with trust planning. A couple’s tax burden to Washington state can be reduced with the right type of trust. Young children, including young adults, can be protected with a children’s trust. Maybe your loved one is facing divorce or bankruptcy; trusts can shield against this too. Of course, do not forget about your fur baby.
