You Probably Need a

Trust (Not Just a Will)

Our children will inherit more wealth than in all of history. They could be becoming instant millionaires after we’re gone. Sometimes without having worked a single day in a full-time job.

Is this ok for you? Probably not.

And yet we parents are often so busy accumulating wealth that we don’t pay enough attention to how we want to pass our wealth to our children.

A huge inheritance can be a lifelong trap for children. Easy money can lead to unmotivated lives. We don’t want our children to ask themselves in the mirror, “Who am I?”

With a Testamentary Trust or a Standby Living Trust, you can leave a legacy in a thoughtful way — one that promotes productivity and healthy, fulfilling lifestyles.
