At Fales Law Group, our experienced estate planning attorney in Las Vegas can guide you through every step of creating a living trust that fits your needs and helps avoid probate.
Whether you’re looking to set up a revocable living trust or need assistance updating an existing one, our firm ensures that your assets are protected, your family is cared for, and the complexities of probate are avoided.
Fales Law Group has over 20 years of experience helping hardworking individuals and families secure their future. With our advice, you’ll retain complete control over your assets while ensuring that everything is distributed smoothly to your beneficiaries without unnecessary court involvement.
A living trust is a legal document that holds your assets for your benefit during your lifetime and directs how those assets will be distributed after your death. By creating a properly drafted trust, you can protect your assets, avoid probate, and ensure your wishes are carried out smoothly.
At Fales Law Group, we focus on setting up both revocable and irrevocable living trusts. A revocable living trust allows you to retain control over your assets and modify the trust as needed during your lifetime. On the other hand, an irrevocable trust can offer additional protections, such as shielding your estate from creditors or estate taxes.
Our Services Include:
Drafting new revocable and irrevocable trusts
Updating existing trusts to ensure they are properly funded
Providing a complete living trust package
Transferring assets into the trust, including retirement accounts and real estate
Nevada is a favorable state for estate planning due to its asset protection laws and absence of state estate tax. Setting up a living trust helps you bypass the probate process, which can be time-consuming and costly.
Advantages of a Living Trust:
Avoid Probate: Assets held in a living trust do not go through probate, saving your family time and money.
Retain Complete Control: With a revocable living trust, you maintain control over your assets and can make changes as your life circumstances evolve.
Tax Benefits: Properly setting up your trust can minimize estate taxes and protect your wealth for future generations.
Asset Protection: Shield your assets from creditors and legal disputes.
At Fales Law Group, our attorney has experience in Nevada estate law and can ensure your living trust is tailored to your unique needs.
Estate planning can seem overwhelming, but our experienced attorney can make the process seamless and straightforward. From drafting a living trust to naming beneficiaries and successor trustees, Fales Law Group will help you every step of the way.
Our Process Includes:
Initial consultation to discuss your needs and goals
Drafting a living trust that suits your personal and financial situation
Transferring assets such as property, retirement accounts, and bank accounts into the trust
Ensuring all necessary documents are properly signed and notarized
Ongoing support to update your trust as needed
A revocable living trust is a flexible estate planning tool that allows you to make changes or revoke the trust during your lifetime. It offers privacy, avoids probate, and can help with managing assets if you become incapacitated.
Key Benefits of a Revocable Trust:
Many people create a living trust but fail to properly fund it, which can cause complications down the road. At Fales Law Group, we ensure that all of your assets, including real estate, retirement accounts, and other investments, are correctly transferred into your trust.
Avoid These Common Pitfalls:
A successor trustee is the person you designate to manage your trust in the event of your death or incapacity. This individual will have the responsibility of distributing your assets according to your wishes and handling any estate-related matters.
At Fales Law Group, we help you choose a successor trustee who will act in the best interests of your beneficiaries and ensure that your estate plan is carried out effectively.
Probate is the court-supervised process of distributing a deceased person’s estate, which can be time-consuming and costly. By setting up a living trust, you can bypass probate, ensuring your family has immediate access to your assets.
Without a properly funded trust, assets may be subject to “double probate,” where even assets intended to avoid probate must go through the court system. Fales Law Group helps ensure all your assets are transferred into your trust, protecting your family from unnecessary legal hurdles.
