Trusts
A trust is a valuable estate planning tool that you can use to protect your assets from probate and determine how they will be distributed to your loved ones after you die. When drafted properly, trusts can also protect the assets they contain from certain estate and inheritance taxes. Here at Mummert Law Firm, we understand all of the nuances of Maryland trust law. Regardless of your needs, we can review your case and determine the best type of trust for your unique situation.
Types of Trusts
Our firm has experience drafting all types of estate planning trusts, including:
- Revocable Trusts
- Irrevocable Trusts
- Living Trusts
- Bypass and Credit Shelter Trusts
- Life Insurance Trusts
- Special Needs Trusts
- Charitable Trusts
Benefits of Trusts
- Avoiding Probate – Probate is a lengthy and costly legal process. A proper trust can help your loved ones avoid it.
- Reducing Estate Taxes – Trusts can help you avoid potentially expensive estate and inheritance taxes by shielding certain assets.
- Simplifying Property Distribution – When you create a trust, you can clearly define how the assets it contains are to be distributed, and the trustee can follow your instructions immediately after you die.
- Protecting Assets from Creditors – Certain trusts can shield your assets from creditor liens and garnishments.
