Mortensen Law does Living Trusts. A person who has substantial assets and properties should plan ahead on who should inherit them is ever he/she dies or is unable to manage them. Failure to do so could make these assets and properties end up in probate or conservatorship. These two processes take up a lot of the person’s heirs’ time, money, and energy. An inheritance that should be looked upon as a gift has turned into a curse.
Living trusts should be made to avoid properties undergoing these tedious and time-consuming processes. A living trust is a legal document that names the grantor (the owner of the trust), the trustee (the manager of the trust) and the beneficiaries (those who will benefit from the legal trust). Unlike a will, that needs to be probated, a living trust designates a trustee who will be responsible for executing the wishes of the grantor, therefore eliminating the need for a probate court to decide on this matter.
Living trusts are helpful in managing property if it was properly drafted. It could become a nightmare if not. Living trusts should be made with a qualified estate lawyer to ensure that the assets and properties embodies in that living trust will be managed efficiently, orderly, and properly.
