Are Trusts Still Useful If The Estate Tax Is Repealed?

The estate tax is a hotly debated topic among politicians. Some people, generally Republican, say the estate tax should not exist because income tax, sales tax, property tax, and other taxes have already taken enough away from a person by the government.

Do I Need A Trust?

People often ask if they need a trust, or whether or not a will is sufficient. Both wills and trusts are useful for distributing assets upon death. However, there are certain times where outright gifts to heirs or beneficiaries through a will or trust are not necessarily the best idea. So, the question becomes under what circumstances are trusts useful or helpful. This discussion may apply to both testamentary trusts (trusts created at the death of an individual), and inter vivos also known as living trusts (trusts created while an individual is alive).   Trusts are very useful tools … [Read more...]
