Putnam County Trust Lawyer
Helping Florida Residents Establish a Lasting Legacy in Duval County and Beyond
Talking about wills and estates can be uncomfortable. After all, making plans for what happens after you die can be very difficult. However, when you can leave behind a lasting legacy that will help promote the future well-being of your loved ones, you can take solace in the fact that your actions will positively impact the people you care about that endures beyond your death. This is best accomplished with an estate plan. To ensure your legacy provides your loved ones maximum benefit, your estate plan should contain a living trust.
What is a Trust?
A trust can be considered a special kind of contract where someone agrees to oversee and manage certain assets for the benefit of someone else. The person who agrees to manage trust assets is called a “trustee.” A trustee has legal rights to use the trust assets as long as they do so for the benefit of the trust.
An effective estate plan will use a revocable living trust naming you as trustee for life and other “successor trustees.” When you pass away, your successor trustee will have use and control over the trust assets. Trust assets are not subject to probate because they are legally “owned” by the trust. As a result, using a trust will simplify probate administration issues by keeping certain assets out of your testamentary estate upon your death.
Our trust attorneys can provide you with advice and services for the following:
- Trust formation
- Trust administration
- Marital trusts
- Spendthrift trusts
- Revocable living trusts
- Irrevocable life insurance trusts

What is the Difference Between a Will and a Trust?
A trust is a valuable estate planning tool alternative to a will. Trusts benefit from having an effect while you’re alive, unlike a choice that only becomes effective upon a person’s death.
