Protect Your Family with a Living Trust
WHO WE ARE
The attorneys of Pollak & Cusack have spent nearly 30 years helping people establish and update their estate plans to keep up with the changes in the law and changes in their attitudes and circumstances. Our primary service area includes Marin, San Mateo, Alameda, Sonoma and San Francisco counties. We communicate in clear non-legalese language and make every attempt to return your phone call within 24 hours. We offer complimentary consultations on the phone, in our office or at your home.
YOUR ESTATE PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE A LIVING TRUST
The purpose of an estate plan is to identify who manages your assets upon your incapacity and death (Agent, Trustee, Executor) and who inherits your remaining assets after your death (Beneficiaries). We recommend that estate plans include a living trust for clients who have children, own real estate or have more than $150,000 in non-IRA type assets.
A living trust will avoid the delay and expense of probate.
WHY UPDATE YOUR LIVING TRUST
The Federal Estate Tax law has changed considerably in the last 10 years. Therefore, a new living trust prepared for a married couple today may contain very different provisions than in the past, when estate tax exemptions were lower. An old living trust may result in unnecessary capital gains taxes and fees when incapacity or death occurs. We recommend that you review your living trust, Power of Attorney and Advance Health Care Directive to consider whether the choices you made reflect your wishes today. When you amend or “Restate” your living trust, you do not need to re-title your assets.
