Trust and Estate Attorneys in Coral Gables

Trusts are powerful tools for protecting your assets, providing for your loved ones, and securing your legacy. At Bianchi Fasani Green Law, our trust attorneys in Coral Gables are dedicated to helping you harness the power of trusts to achieve your estate planning goals.

Why Consider a Trust?

Trusts offer numerous advantages over a will:

• Avoid Probate: Assets in a trust can be distributed to beneficiaries without going through the lengthy, public, and often costly probate process.
• Maintain Privacy: Unlike wills, trusts are private documents that don’t become part of the public record.
• Provide Flexibility: Trusts can be tailored to your unique needs, allowing you to control when and how your assets are distributed.
• Plan for Incapacity: A trust can ensure your affairs are managed according to your wishes if you become incapacitated.
• Minimize Taxes: Certain trusts can help reduce or eliminate estate taxes, preserving more of your wealth for your beneficiaries.
• Protect Assets: Trusts can shield your assets from creditors, lawsuits, and beneficiaries’ poor financial decisions.

Whether you’re looking to provide for a child with special needs, protect your estate from taxes, or ensure your business continues to thrive after your retirement, a trust can help you achieve your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a will and a trust?

A will is a legal document that directs how your assets will be distributed after your death. It must go through probate, which is a public court process. A trust, on the other hand, is a legal entity that can hold assets during your lifetime and distribute them to beneficiaries according to your instructions, often without the need for probate.

Do I need a trust if I already have a will?

While a will is an essential part of any estate plan, a trust offers additional benefits such as avoiding probate, maintaining privacy, providing for incapacity, and potentially minimizing taxes. Whether you need a trust depends on your specific goals and circumstances. We can help you determine if a trust is right for you.

Can I change my trust after it’s created?

It depends on the type of trust. Revocable living trusts can be amended or revoked at any time during your lifetime as long as you have mental capacity. Irrevocable trusts, as the name suggests, typically can’t be changed once they’re established, barring certain exceptions.

How much does it cost to set up a trust?

The cost of setting up a trust varies depending on the complexity of your situation and the type of trust you need. We offer competitive pricing and can provide you with a detailed quote after understanding your specific needs during your initial consultation.

How long does it take to set up a trust?

The timeline for setting up a trust depends on the complexity of your assets and your individual circumstances. Simple trusts can often be established within a few weeks, while more complex trusts may take several months. We work efficiently to ensure your trust is set up as quickly as possible while ensuring every detail is addressed.
