FAQ
- I'm not sure if I need trust. What are some common reasons people choose to create trusts?
Trusts are valuable tools for many individuals and families both in Boise and elsewhere. Some common reasons to consider a trust include:
- Asset Protection Shielding assets from creditors or potential lawsuits, especially for business owners, high-net-worth individuals, or those in high-risk professions.
- Estate Tax Planning Reducing or eliminating estate taxes to maximize the amount of wealth passed to beneficiaries.
- Special Needs Planning Protecting government benefits for individuals with disabilities while guaranteeing their financial security.
- Blended Family Planning Promoting fairness and clarity in asset distribution for families with stepchildren or multiple marriages.
- Philanthropic Giving Forging a lasting legacy by establishing a charitable trust to support causes you care about.
No matter your reasons, the attorneys at Exceed Legal can help you configure a trust that offers maximum protection and allows you to manage your assets how you see fit.
- I've heard that trusts can help avoid probate. How does that work in Idaho?
In Idaho, assets held within a living trust typically bypass the probate process, which can be time-consuming and expensive. That means your assets will be distributed to your beneficiaries more efficiently and privately, avoiding the public scrutiny of probate court.
- My children are still young. Should I name a guardian for them in my trust?
Naming a guardian for your minor children is highly recommended. Doing so ensures that your chosen guardian (typically a trusted friend or family member) will have the legal authority to make decisions about your children's care and upbringing if you’re no longer able to do so.
- I'm worried about my ability to manage my finances in the future. Can a trust help with that?
A trust can provide a safety net if you become unable to manage your own affairs due to illness or incapacity. You can appoint a trustee to handle your assets according to your instructions.
