Without proper funding, your estate plan won’t work. Why is that? Funding is retitling your assets or updating your named beneficiaries to achieve your intended result. If you have a living trust, that could mean you and your loved ones experience less burdens, your assets are distributed according to your wishes, and your estate avoids the probate process.   Changing the title on assets such as bank or investment accounts to your trust as the owner, can make it easier during...

Estate planning generally involves documents such as a trust, a will, and powers of attorney; these legal documents explain who is trusted to step into different roles, as well as set out who gets what, when the time comes. To some, these documents can come off as a bit impersonal or be difficult to read with all the legal jargon, even though our office tries to make them understandable. But, as the creator of the trust, you can include Purposeful...

When a child decides to play with their Legos, they start in pieces scattered across the floor without care. It’s a big pile of possibilities. Over time, those individual pieces are placed together in an order that fits the child’s imagination. They can pick a variety of colors, choose how many pieces to use, or even add and change pieces later if they want. This may end up with the child building a castle, a spaceship, or whatever they dream...
