Understanding Wills and Trusts
Raj K. Bhagat provides clients ample time to discuss their needs. The firm's services are designed to ensure your assets are protected during your lifetime, distributed as you wish when you die and kept in your family. Many clients are concerned about protecting their family homes, vehicles, jewelry, heirlooms, business accounts and investments. Wills and trusts can help you do just that.
- A will focuses on the distribution of your assets upon your death. In your will, you name a personal representative to manage the final affairs of your estate and state how you want your property and assets given to your family and others. It is important to know that if you die without a will, the government will decide on the distribution of your assets.
- The types of trusts are as varied as the goals they meet. Some trusts go into effect during your lifetime; others go into effect upon your death. You can establish trusts for children, grandchildren, special needs individuals, schools, charitable organizations and more. Types of trusts include living trusts, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, charitable remainder trusts and life insurance trusts. Trusts can also minimize estate taxes.
In addition to wills and trusts, we handle powers of attorney, living wills, tax planning, retirement planning and other estate planning services.
