What is Trust Drafting and Why Is It Important?
Trust drafting involves creating a legal entity – a trust – that holds assets for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. Unlike a will, which typically takes effect after your death and often goes through probate, a trust can be effective during your lifetime, after your death, or both, and can often bypass the probate process entirely.
The importance of trust drafting lies in its versatility and power to:
- Maintain Privacy
- Avoid Probate
- Control Asset Distribution
- Minimize Taxes
- Protect Assets

Our comprehensive trust drafting services include the creation of:
Revocable Living Trusts (RLT)
A flexible tool that allows you to maintain control over your assets during your lifetime. You can modify or revoke it as your circumstances change. RLTs are commonly used to avoid probate and manage assets if you become incapacitated.
Irrevocable Trusts:
Once established, these trusts generally cannot be modified or revoked without the beneficiary’s consent. Irrevocable trusts are often used for advanced tax planning, asset protection, and charitable giving. Including: Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs), Special Needs Trusts (SNTs), Charitable Trusts, & Asset Protection Trusts
Testamentary Trusts
These trusts are created within your Will and only come into effect upon your death, after your Will has gone through probate. They can be useful for controlling distributions to beneficiaries, such as minor children.
Dynasty Trusts
Dynasty trusts manage assets across generations, helping families avoid estate taxes longer. This tool preserves wealth for children and grandchildren, shielding assets from taxes and ensuring financial security for future heirs.
