  • Revocable trusts: These trusts allow you to retain control over your assets during your lifetime, offering the flexibility to modify or revoke the trust as circumstances change – they also help avoid probate.
  • Irrevocable trusts: Once established, these trusts cannot be altered, but they provide crucial benefits such as asset protection and tax advantages.
  • Testamentary trusts: Created through a will, these trusts take effect upon your passing, ensuring your assets are distributed according to your expressed wishes.
  • Charitable trusts: Designed to support charitable organizations, these trusts also provide invaluable tax benefits while empowering you to fulfill your philanthropic goals.
  • Special needs trusts: These trusts help provide financial support for your loved one with disabilities without jeopardizing their eligibility for government assistance.
