Trusts Attorney Serving Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
& Los Angeles, California

A Trust is a comprehensive way to plan for your estate. A Trust, similar to a Will, allows you to designate responsible parties and plans of action upon your passing. This includes designating who receives your assets and establishing who should provide care for a minor child through guardianship provisions. However, Trusts have many benefits that Wills do not.

• Provide specific plans for how one’s assets are managed during incapacity

• Transfer real property or other assets into the Trust

• Establish guardianship for minors and allocate resources for their care

• Establish guardianship for pets and allocate resources for their care

• Appoint individual(s) to make financial decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so

• Appoint individual(s) to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are able to do so

• Outline healthcare wishes (life-saving measures, comfort care, etc.)

• Outline post-death care (plans for remains, services, etc.)

Options for Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts
