Frequently Asked Questions

How can a trust be structured to provide long-term asset protection for beneficiaries?

Trusts can be designed with “spendthrift” provisions that shield assets from beneficiaries’ creditors, lawsuits, or divorce settlements. They can also include staggered distributions, lifetime income provisions, and conditions that encourage responsible financial management.

Do I need an estate plan if I don’t have a lot of assets?
What are the advantages and drawbacks of lifetime gifting versus inheritance?
How can I integrate business succession planning into my personal estate plan?
How often should I update my will or trust?

Lifetime gifts can reduce estate size for tax purposes and allow you to see your beneficiaries enjoy the assets, but they may trigger gift taxes, affect Medicaid eligibility, or carry different capital gains implications compared to inherited property.

You should review your estate plan every 3–5 years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant changes in your finances or assets.

Yes. Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy — it’s about ensuring your wishes are followed, your loved ones are cared for, and important decisions (like health care and guardianship for children) are clearly outlined.

Business succession plans should be aligned with your will or trust to avoid conflicts. Strategies may include buy-sell agreements, key-person insurance, and clear directives for voting rights, management roles, and ownership transfers.
