What are the primary benefits of a trust?

May 1, 2019

Similar to a will, a trust provides a way for you to decide how and when your property will be distributed upon your death. However, a trust can also provide a way to protect that property in situations where a certain beneficiary may need assistance in managing that property. Another benefit is that a trust can help you avoid the expensive and time-consuming court process known as probate.

“Chris and his staff were awesome to work with. I felt like I was their only client with the personal attention and time they spent with me setting up a trust. Chris did an excellent job of making sure I understood everything I needed to and things were being set up for our families specific needs and desires. I look forward to having Chris continue to be our estate planning attorney.”

“Chris and his team led us through what we felt was a complicated process in a very organized manner. Everything was explained to our satisfaction and then our decisions were executed quickly. All we had to do was sign documents. Most important, the after support has been excellent. If we have a question, the answer is always.....let us take care of that for you! Everyone in this firm is unpretentious, helpful and very knowledgeable.”

“For about 10 years my husband and I kept saying, "we need to prepare a trust or a will. We had already planned and paid for our funerals but trying to figure out the will or trust was overwhelming to us. We received an invitation in the mail to attend a seminar. After meeting with Chris we both agreed that Chris and his firm were whom we wanted to execute our Trust documents.”

“My wife and I took advantage of the free evening program put on by Gaughan and Connealy back in 2013 and later hired Chris Gaughan to do our estate planning. First thing that sold us was not only Chris's professionalism, but his knowledge and his passion for what he does. The process was very easy and thorough. Chris brought up scenarios/issues that were unforeseen but were important to have in our plans. ”
