“Peace of Mind” Tax & Asset Protection Living Trust Plan

The Planning Process

Your “Peace of Mind” Living Trust Plan will be completed in four simple steps.

Step One – Call or e-mail our office to schedule your free, no-obligation, initial consultation. There are three main goals to this meeting:

  • You tell us what your goals are
  • You get your questions answered
  • We ask questions to gather information and understand your goal

Step Two – Gather information.  Shortly after your initial consultation you will receive a detailed list of the information we need to finalize your estate plan. You will be provided with a  due date for when this information needs to be returned to our office.

Step Three – Review and execute your plan.  At this Signing Ceremony you will meet with an attorney who will review your Plan with you to make sure you fully understand the terms of the plan and that it is consistent with your intended goals.  Your Estate Planning documents will then be signed, notarized and witnessed.

Step Four – Funding your Trust.  We will assist you in the process of transferring your assets to the trust and notify and educate your other advisors on how the plan works.
