Wildomar Residents, Protect Your Legacy with a Trust

This is Brenda Jones reporting for Wildomar News. Today we are joined by Steve Bliss, a renowned trust attorney here in Wildomar specializing in estate planning and probate law.

Understanding the Importance of Trusts

Steve, thanks so much for joining us today. For our viewers who may not be familiar with trusts, can you explain why they are such an essential part of estate planning?

“Brenda, it’s a pleasure to be here. You’re absolutely right, trusts are fundamental to protecting your assets and ensuring your wishes are carried out after you’re gone. Essentially, a trust is a legal entity that holds and manages assets for the benefit of designated individuals or entities, known as beneficiaries.”

“Think of it like a secure container for your belongings. You decide what goes in the container (your assets), who gets to access it (your beneficiaries), and how they can use what’s inside (distribution instructions). This provides peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of according to your plan.”

Exploring the Revocable Living Trust

Steve, you mentioned different types of trusts. Could you elaborate on one specific type and its benefits?

“Certainly, Brenda. Today, let’s focus on the revocable living trust, which is incredibly popular among our clients here in Wildomar. A revocable living trust allows you to maintain control over your assets during your lifetime while also avoiding the lengthy and costly probate process after your passing.”

“Consequently, this type of trust offers significant flexibility. You can change the terms of the trust, add or remove beneficiaries, or even dissolve it entirely as long as you are mentally competent. Moreover, upon your death, the assets in the trust transfer directly to your chosen beneficiaries, bypassing probate court altogether.”

“This streamlining process can save your family time, money, and stress during an already difficult period. According to a study by the American Bar Association, probate proceedings can take anywhere from six months to two years and cost thousands of dollars in legal fees. A revocable living trust effectively circumvents these hurdles.”

“However, it’s important to remember that while you maintain control during your lifetime, the assets within a revocable living trust are no longer considered solely yours for tax purposes. This can have implications depending on individual circumstances.”

A Touching Tale

Steve, I know from talking to others in the community that you’ve helped many families navigate complex estate planning situations. Can you share an example of a time when using a revocable living trust made a real difference?

“I recall a young couple who came to me worried about what would happen to their two children if something were to happen to both of them. They had recently purchased their first home and were just starting to build a life together. Through careful planning, we established a revocable living trust that outlined guardianship for their children and ensured the family home remained protected for their future.”

“Years later, tragically, both parents passed away in an accident. The trust seamlessly transitioned ownership of the home and other assets to the appointed guardian, providing stability and security for the orphaned children during a heart-wrenching time. It was a deeply moving experience to witness how the trust fulfilled its purpose and brought a sense of hope amidst profound loss.”
