Living Trusts

What makes a living trust better than a simple will?

June 22, 2021 by amsolutions

There are a number of different advantages, and for many, probate avoidance is at the top of the list. If you use a will to state your final wishes, you would name an executor to act as the administrator, and they would admit the will to probate. This is a legal process that takes place […]

Can you dissolve the trust if you change your mind?

June 22, 2021 by amsolutions

June 22, 2021 by amsolutions

This is a term that is not tricky in any way. Simply put, a living trust is a trust that goes into effect while you are still alive.
