How Trusts Work and Why They Matter

A trust allows you, or someone you appoint, to manage assets for chosen beneficiaries. Unlike a will, which only takes effect after death, many trusts operate during your lifetime and continue afterward, offering both flexibility and peace of mind. Trusts can help avoid probate, protect privacy, reduce taxes, and ensure a smoother transfer of assets to family or business interests.

Our attorneys in Manteno assist with creating, managing, and updating trusts to match your changing needs. We also provide guidance for trust administration and can help resolve disputes when necessary, ensuring your plan remains secure and effective.
