Living Trusts Explained
You've worked hard to build something worth passing on. Have you taken the steps to make sure your family actually receives it without a fight?
In this Meridian Market Minute, Nathan Gilbert breaks down what a living trust is, how it keeps the transfer of your assets out of the county court system, and why it tends to be a central piece of most estate plans, even when tax savings aren't the primary goal. He also covers the detail that makes or breaks a living trust: whether your accounts and property are properly titled in the trust's name before you need it to work.
This video is a practical starting point for anyone who has been putting off estate planning or who wants to make sure an existing plan is actually set up correctly.
