Unfortunately, a living trust provides no asset protection for the trust maker during his or her life. Upon the death of the trust maker, however, or upon the death of the first spouse to die if it is a joint trust, the trust becomes irrevocable as to the deceased trust maker&#8217;s property and can provide asset protection for the beneficiaries, with two important caveats. First, the assets must remain in the trust to provide ongoing asset protection. In other words, once the trustee distributes the assets to a beneficiary, those assets are no longer protected and can be attached by that beneficiary&#8217;s creditors. If the beneficiary is married, the distributed assets may also be subject to the spouse&#8217;s creditor(s), or they may be available to the former spouse upon divorce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The second caveat follows logically from the first: the more rights the beneficiary has with respect to compelling trust distributions, the less asset protection the trust provides. Generally, a creditor &#8216;steps into the shoes&#8217; of the debtor and can exercise any rights of the debtor. Thus, if a beneficiary has the right to compel a distribution from a trust, so too can a creditor compel a distribution from that trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Contact asset protection attorney Edward R.

We refer to this process as Values Based Planning.<\/p>\n<p>Experts agree it is important to talk to children about money and wealth, and the family values that should guide the investment and enjoyment of the wealth. We understand the importance of values and incorporate them into your estate panning. Instead of concentrating solely on taxes, money and passing your wealth, we talk with you about your values and opportunities to convey them with your money. Most parents want their children to think about others, and many want to encourage entrepreneurship. Some give their children a small amount of money at a young age, and teach them how to save and invest, give a certain amount to charity and spend wisely. Regardless of your planning, your loved ones will see your values based estate plan as a legacy to them. Plan your legacy today, contact Values Based Planning Attorney Edward R. Cainglit to learn how.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .panel__content -->\r\n\r\n<\/div><!-- .panel --><\/div><!-- .panels -->\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n\r\n<ul id=\"amoteam-sc-member-391003810\" class=\"amoteam-sc-team amoteam-tiles amoteam-tile-style-2 amoteam-round-style \">\r\n\t<li class=\"amoteam-tiles__item  amoteam-js-round-fix\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<a class=\"amoteam-popup-link\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#amoteam-panel-391003810-6164\">\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-hover-icon \">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"amoteam-icon-hover-info\"><\/i>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-info amoteam-member-info--al-right amoteam-member-info--ns\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-name amoteam-member-info__item \">Trust Administration<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .member-info -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-img-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amoteam-member-img\" src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/image2-640x501.png\" alt=\"Trust Administration\">\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .member -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/li><!-- .tiles__item -->\r\n\r\n<\/ul><!-- .sc-team -->\r\n<script>amoTeamVars.memberSC.push({\"type\":\"member\",\"scID\":\"#amoteam-sc-member-391003810\",\"itemWidth\":200,\"itemMargin\":15,\"align\":\"left\",\"fullWidth\":\"yes\",\"panel\":\"center\"})<\/script><div class=\"amoteam-panels\">\r\n<div id=\"amoteam-panel-391003810-6164\" class=\"amoteam-panel mfp-hide amoteam-panel-align-center amoteam-panel-pf-image \"\r\n     data-align=\"center\" data-format=\"image\">\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__header\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"amoteam-btn amoteam-btn-rc-square amoteam-btn-panel-close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close Panel\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"amoteam-icon-close\"><\/i><\/button>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__img-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amoteam-panel__img\" src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/amo-team-showcase\/public\/img\/image-placeholder.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/image2-640x501.png\" alt=\"Trust Administration\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .panel__img-wrap -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__heading\">\r\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"amoteam-panel__title amoteam-panel__heading-item\">Trust Administration<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div><!-- .panel__header -->\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__content\">\r\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Trust administration occurs when your loved one owned his or her assets through a well drafted and properly funded revocable living trust. If this is the case, your family may administer the revocable living trust privately without a public, court-managed probate administration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The process begins with an event that triggers a provision in your revocable living trust based estate plan, such as incapacity or death. Trust administration provides for the successor trustees you designated in your revocable living trust to step into action and execute according to your instructions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Even though the trust administration process is handled privately, without court supervision, it can be complex. Often, your successor trustees need the assistance of competent and experienced counsel to guide them through the process. Trust administration requires them to make important decisions including preparing inventories of your property, preparing tax returns, and signing other important documents on your behalf. Ultimately they must folow your written instructions provided in your revocable living trust and divide and distribute your property to those individuals or charities you identified.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The trust administration process carries a lot of responsibilities. The Oak Crest Law Group can help guide your trustees through the process as efficiently and caring as possible.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .panel__content -->\r\n\r\n<\/div><!-- .panel --><\/div><!-- .panels -->\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n\r\n<ul id=\"amoteam-sc-member-357707446\" class=\"amoteam-sc-team amoteam-tiles amoteam-tile-style-2 amoteam-round-style \">\r\n\t<li class=\"amoteam-tiles__item  amoteam-js-round-fix\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<a class=\"amoteam-popup-link\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#amoteam-panel-357707446-6157\">\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-hover-icon \">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"amoteam-icon-hover-info\"><\/i>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-info amoteam-member-info--al-right amoteam-member-info--ns\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-name amoteam-member-info__item \">Charitable Giving<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .member-info -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-img-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amoteam-member-img\" src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/chartity-640x478.jpg\" alt=\"Charitable Giving\">\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .member -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/li><!-- .tiles__item -->\r\n\r\n<\/ul><!-- .sc-team -->\r\n<script>amoTeamVars.memberSC.push({\"type\":\"member\",\"scID\":\"#amoteam-sc-member-357707446\",\"itemWidth\":200,\"itemMargin\":15,\"align\":\"left\",\"fullWidth\":\"yes\",\"panel\":\"center\"})<\/script><div class=\"amoteam-panels\">\r\n<div id=\"amoteam-panel-357707446-6157\" class=\"amoteam-panel mfp-hide amoteam-panel-align-center amoteam-panel-pf-image \"\r\n     data-align=\"center\" data-format=\"image\">\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__header\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"amoteam-btn amoteam-btn-rc-square amoteam-btn-panel-close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close Panel\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"amoteam-icon-close\"><\/i><\/button>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__img-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amoteam-panel__img\" src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/amo-team-showcase\/public\/img\/image-placeholder.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/chartity-640x478.jpg\" alt=\"Charitable Giving\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .panel__img-wrap -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__heading\">\r\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"amoteam-panel__title amoteam-panel__heading-item\">Charitable Giving<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div><!-- .panel__header -->\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__content\">\r\n\t\t<p>Many of our clients are charitable during their lives. Giving is a part of their values and financial planning.\u00a0 The Oak Crest Law Group has years of experience working with our clients to develop a charitable giving plan as a part of their estate plan. A Charitable Plan can be set up as part of your revocable living trust planning, coming into existence at the time of your death, or as a stand-alone plan during your lifetime.\u00a0 The following Charitable Trusts are an example of options available to you today.<br \/>\n<strong>Charitable Lead Trust<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Charitable Lead Trust is a type of charitable trust that can reduce or virtually eliminate all estate tax on wealth passing to heirs. In order to accomplish this goal, you create a trust that grants to a charity or charities, for a set number of years, the first or &#8216;lead&#8217; right to receive a payment from the trust. At the end of the term of years, your children or grandchildren receive the balance of the trust property&#8217; which often is greater than the amount contributed, free of estate tax in most instances.<br \/>\n<strong>Charitable Remainder Trust<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Charitable Remainder Trust (&#8216;CRT&#8217;)\u00a0 permits you to transfer ownership of assets to the trust in exchange for an income stream to the person or persons of your choice (typically you, your spouse or you and your spouse) for life or for a specified term of up to 20 years. With the most common type of Charitable Remainder Trust, at the end of the term, the balance of the trust property (the &#8216;remainder interest&#8217;) is transferred to a specified charity or charities.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .panel__content -->\r\n\r\n<\/div><!-- .panel --><\/div><!-- .panels -->\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n\r\n<ul id=\"amoteam-sc-member-1075679460\" class=\"amoteam-sc-team amoteam-tiles amoteam-tile-style-2 amoteam-round-style \">\r\n\t<li class=\"amoteam-tiles__item  amoteam-js-round-fix\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<a class=\"amoteam-popup-link\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#amoteam-panel-1075679460-6165\">\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-hover-icon \">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"amoteam-icon-hover-info\"><\/i>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-info amoteam-member-info--al-right amoteam-member-info--ns\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-name amoteam-member-info__item \">Probate<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .member-info -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-member-img-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amoteam-member-img\" src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/shutterstock_609068441-1-640x500.png\" alt=\"Probate\">\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .member -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/li><!-- .tiles__item -->\r\n\r\n<\/ul><!-- .sc-team -->\r\n<script>amoTeamVars.memberSC.push({\"type\":\"member\",\"scID\":\"#amoteam-sc-member-1075679460\",\"itemWidth\":200,\"itemMargin\":15,\"align\":\"left\",\"fullWidth\":\"yes\",\"panel\":\"center\"})<\/script><div class=\"amoteam-panels\">\r\n<div id=\"amoteam-panel-1075679460-6165\" class=\"amoteam-panel mfp-hide amoteam-panel-align-center amoteam-panel-pf-image \"\r\n     data-align=\"center\" data-format=\"image\">\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__header\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"amoteam-btn amoteam-btn-rc-square amoteam-btn-panel-close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close Panel\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"amoteam-icon-close\"><\/i><\/button>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__img-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amoteam-panel__img\" src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/amo-team-showcase\/public\/img\/image-placeholder.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/oakcrestlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/shutterstock_609068441-1-640x500.png\" alt=\"Probate\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .panel__img-wrap -->\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__heading\">\r\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"amoteam-panel__title amoteam-panel__heading-item\">Probate<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div><!-- .panel__header -->\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"amoteam-panel__content\">\r\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When a loved one passes away with a will based estate plan, his or her assets must be distributed to beneficiaries through a court-managed process called probate. During the probate process, the assets of a deceased individual are managed and distributed under the supervision of the court. Every probate case is unique, but all follow basic steps &#8211; At death your loved one&#8217;s will must be filed at the courthouse, proven to be the correct will, the assets collected, debts paid, various tax returns filed and distribution made to the beneficiaries as directed under the loved one&#8217;s will.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The probate process requires a number of decisions being made, correct probate documents being signed and filed and the transfer of assets pursuant to the individual&#8217;s testamentary plan.
