Comprehensive Trust Services in Kingwood & Houston

Revocable Living Trusts

Maximum Flexibility with Probate Avoidance

Revocable trusts, also known as living trusts, provide the perfect balance of control and protection during your lifetime while ensuring smooth asset transfer after death. As the grantor, you maintain complete authority to modify or revoke the trust while alive, but your beneficiaries benefit from avoiding costly and time-consuming probate proceedings. These trusts are ideal for families who want privacy in their affairs and immediate asset distribution upon death.

Key Benefits:

• Avoid lengthy probate process
• Maintain complete control during your lifetime
• Ensure privacy for your family’s financial matters
• Enable immediate access to assets for beneficiaries

Irrevocable Trusts

Ultimate Asset Protection and Tax Advantages

When permanent asset protection is your priority, irrevocable trusts offer unmatched security and tax benefits. While you relinquish direct control of assets placed in these trusts, the benefits include significant protection from creditors, potential estate tax reduction, and removal of assets from your taxable estate. Our attorneys carefully structure these trusts to maximize benefits while ensuring your long-term financial goals are met.

Strategic Advantages:

• Complete creditor protection for trust assets
• Reduction of estate and gift tax exposure
• Permanent wealth preservation for beneficiaries
• Enhanced privacy and asset security

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs)

Maximize Life Insurance Benefits Tax-Free

Don’t let estate taxes diminish your life insurance benefits. Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts allow your life insurance proceeds to pass directly to beneficiaries without counting toward your estate’s value for tax purposes. This strategy can save your family thousands of dollars in unnecessary estate taxes while ensuring your life insurance serves its intended purpose of providing financial security.

Special Needs Trusts

Preserve Government Benefits While Providing Care

Families with special needs members face unique challenges in estate planning. Special Needs Trusts allow you to provide financial support and enhanced quality of life for disabled family members without jeopardizing their eligibility for essential government benefits like Medicaid or SSI. Our attorneys understand the complex regulations governing these trusts and ensure full compliance while maximizing benefits.

Additional Trust Advantages

Multi-State Asset Protection: One often-overlooked benefit of trust-based planning is the elimination of ancillary probate proceedings. If you own property in multiple states, trusts ensure that assets transfer seamlessly without requiring separate probate processes in each jurisdiction, saving time and significant legal expenses.
