Trusts

A trust can be a very useful mechanism to protect money from estate taxes and to preserve assets for the future. At the Law Office of Mary C. LaGrone, we are knowledgeable and skilled in assisting clients with the creation of trusts that meet their specific needs. We offer more than 8 years of legal experience and understand the new trust laws in Tennessee. Contact our Tennessee special needs trust lawyer to discuss your needs.

Need for a Trust

A trust holds assets in the control of a trustee but for the benefit of a named beneficiary. There are many different reasons to create a trust and our firm listens intently to our clients to learn their specific goals and advise them regarding the trust document or legal instrument that will achieve their goals most effectively. Trusts can be used for many purposes including:

To protect assets from creditors
To preserve assets for children until they are older
To protect the assets of a special needs individual and facilitate qualifying for government programs
To designate how assets are spent, such as for medical or educational needs
To pass on to survivors without probate or estate taxes

Types of Trusts

There is a variety of different trust options from which to choose. Our Tennessee trust lawyer works with clients to determine which trust option best suits their needs and explain their options fully. Some of the documents we are experienced with drafting include:

Living trust
Irrevocable trust
Revocable trust
Semi annual distribution trust
Minor trust
Grandchild trust
Special needs trust
Marital trust
Educational trust
Life insurance trust
