• Wills
  In the past, most people transferred their assets after death by a Last Will and Testament. Recently, the use of Revocable Living Trusts has exploded in popularity as many people have discovered certain advantages provided by Revocable Living Trusts. A Trust allows assets to be transferred to beneficiaries without the necessity of probate.
• Trusts
  You may be required to obtain “Letters Testamentary” or “Letters of Administration” by a bank or other entity in order to transfer assets. Even though probate may be more time consuming and costly than a living trust, in some instances it might be more appropriate to have a Court oversee the distribution of assets.
• Power of Attorney
