Estate Planning Legal Questions and Answers

Trust

Massachusetts

Asked on Apr 1, 2025

How can I set up a trust to protect my assets?

I am a business owner and have accumulated significant assets over the years. With the increasing risks and uncertainties in the business world, I am concerned about protecting my assets from potential lawsuits, creditors, and other unforeseen circumstances. I have heard that setting up a trust can provide a level of asset protection, but I am unsure about the process and the different types of trusts available. I would like to consult with a lawyer to understand how I can establish a trust that safeguards my assets while still allowing me to have control and access to them.

Joseph M.

Answered Apr 8, 2025

There are numerous forms of Trust that are available depending on the specific assets and your unique goals. Generally speaking, the two main types of trusts are Revocable and Irrevocable. WIth a Revocable Trust, just like it sounds, as trustee you can remove the assets at some point if you so chose, but if you are to pass away or become incapacitated at some point, it reverts to being Irrevocable. An Irrevocable Trust is one in which the grantor transfers all ownership interests to the Trust itself and this act is irreversible. As I am sure you guessed, there are a myriad of ways that your goals can be achieved and I would be happy to provide a free consultation to discuss your situation and possible solutions.

Living Trust

Illinois

Asked on Nov 7, 2021

Need Will or Trust

Married must include both have children from previous marriage.

T. Phillip B.

Answered Nov 30, 2021

Hi. I'm not sure I understand your question. Everyone should have a will regardless of whether you have a trust. The question is whether you need a trust. A lot of that has to do with avoiding probate or some other potential uses depending on the goals and needs. But a typical family would use a trust to better organize everything and control distribution while avoiding going through the court process called probate.

You don't necessarily need a POA to move him to another state if he is agreeing to move. But at some point you'll need a POA (if he has the capacity to sign one) or to become his guardian.

Durable Power of Attorney

Colorado

Asked on Nov 5, 2021

How does a durable power of attorney work when the person dies?

If you have a durable power of attorney and the person dies, do you still have the authority or does it go to the spouse. I have a durable power of attorney for my aunt, she just died and I'm trying to take care of her funeral and things. Does her husband now have the right to make decisions or myself with the durable power of attorney?

Sarah D.

Answered Nov 30, 2021

A Durable Power of attorney for finances (and healthcare) expires once your aunt dies. It is the executor of her will who now acts in that stead related to her finances. If the executor is the spouse, it will be his right to make the decisions. However, if all property was jointly owned between spouses, there is no need to probate the will under Colorado law.
