Chances are, youve already heard a lot about the attributes of Living Trusts and how important it is to avoid probate and legal quagmires, even lowering estate and/or income taxes and protecting privacy. Our firm has found that looking after these financial assets is only a part of planning for passing on your legacy. Typically speaking, non-financial assets are more valued and often omitted when passing an estate to future generations. Focusing on complete "legacy planning" causes something more than a simple or bare bones Living Trust to be needed by most families.
