What Is a Trust?
A trust is a legal arrangement in which a trustee holds and manages assets on behalf of beneficiaries according to the terms of the trust. Legal title to the assets is held by the trust, while the beneficiaries hold “equitable title,” entitling them to the assets at a later date according to the terms of the trust Trusts provide flexibility and control over your estate, enabling you to dictate how and when your assets are distributed.
Florida law allows for various types of trusts, each suited to different estate planning goals. Whether you want to protect your assets, care for a loved one with special needs, or ensure a smooth transfer of wealth, we can help you select the right trust for your situation.

Benefits of Creating a Trust
Establishing a trust offers numerous advantages, including probate avoidance, privacy, and asset protection. Assets placed in a trust are not subject to probate, saving your family time and money. And unlike a will, a trust does not become part of the public record, ensuring your estate matters remain private. Certain trusts can shield your assets from lawsuits, creditors, and other claims. Trusts also allow you to set specific terms for how and when your beneficiaries receive their inheritance to maximize the impact of your gift.
With a trust, you can create a comprehensive plan that reflects your values and priorities.
