Some people shy away from this legal document because of the extra cost. However, many are not aware that they can in fact save time and money. Trusts offer several significant benefits that make them essential components of any comprehensive estate plan.
In creating a trust, you can expedite the distribution of assets, maintain privacy, and provide greater control and flexibility over how your assets are managed. Trusts can also offer asset protection, facilitate charitable giving, and help minimize estate taxes.
A trust is a legal arrangement where a person, known as the grantor or settlor, transfers their assets to a trustee. The trustee then manages and distributes those assets to heirs according to the terms specified in the trust agreement.

Our managing attorney is at it, again! We are glad to have seen him present yesterday at the State Bar of Texas’ Intermediate Estate Planning and Probate CLE on the Basics of Special Needs Trusts.
It’s not uncommon for people to wait to begin their estate planning journey. However, think about estate planning as direction for you and your family’s future. Don’t let another day go by without your next steps planned!
Essential estate planning tools for every young adult to consider include:
HIPAA Waiver - permits access to health records and consultation healthcare providers.
Medical Power of Attorney - authorizes an agent to make medical decisions if the principal cannot.
Durable Power of Attorney - authorizes agent to make financial decisions if the individual is unable or wants present help.
Living Will - directs wishes in the event of a terminal or irreversible condition, including special instructions for certain treatments.
FERPA Waiver - permits the agent to be involved in educational matters, including obtaining educational records.
It is a privilege to serve others. We strive to be of service to enhance your journey, your goals, your business, your family, and your legacy.
Come on now! Wisdom can be shared individually and generationally. May we aspire to share wisdom with compassion and understanding individual to individual and generation to generation.

You may have heard of custodial accounts for children, where the parent or someone else retains custody of the child’s account. For most of these accounts, the child has the right to access the money when they reach the age of majority. (depending on the state and/or financial institution, this age is generally 18 or 21--21 in Texas). You may not, however, want an 18-year-old getting a large sum of money all at once when you have worked hard to save for them.
In contrast, a Crummey Trust allows a person to save money for the benefit of a child in a trust. With this trust, you can decide:
1️⃣ when the child will receive the money,
2️⃣ how the money is managed,
3️⃣ how much they’ll receive, and for what purposes, and
4️⃣ other details related to receipt of the funds.
