The words "Financial Crisis" are heard all too often in today's world. We are bombarded by reports of corrupt executives, downgraded earnings reports and lost nest eggs. We all know people, good people, who have lost jobs, pensions and livelihoods due to the chaotic economic situation in this country today. It is definitely a dangerous and complicated landscape for all of us to live in, care for our families, and plan for our futures.

If you have titled assets and want your loved ones (spouse, children, parents etc.) to "Avoid Court Costs" and "State Interference" upon your death or incapacity, consider a Family Living Trust.

You can easily secure and protect your family's inheritance from the probate court and collection attorneys in as little as 72 hours. You may also want to encourage other family members to secure their family inheritance from the state courts.

A Family Living Trust (FLT) is a legal document drafted in conjunction with a Pour Over Will, a Living Will, Letter of Wishes, Durable Power of Attorney and Non-Contestability. Together they will enable you to avoid probate and allow you, not the courts, to control your assets while you are living. If you become disabled or incapacitated, the Trust will appoint the person you have named to act as your guardian using the durable power of attorney you have authorized.

The legal process in which a will is reviewed to determine whether it is valid and authentic. The court appoints an executor named in the will to administer the process of collecting the assets of the deceased person, paying any liabilities remaining on the person's estate and finally distributing the assets of the estate to beneficiaries named in the will or determined as such by the executor. When a person dies, whether you have a will or not you will be subject to Government officials sorting out your estate matters.

Yes! Not only is avoiding probate legal but with a Living Trust, you leave no misinterpretation or contestibility of how your estate is distributed.
