Is a living trust expensive?

Is a living trust expensive? Well, a living trust does cost more initially than a will. However, the cost of not preparing a living trust, even if only measured in tax savings, is so much greater!

Consider your estate plan like you would consider the purchase of your home: the initial cost more than justifies the benefits you’ll receive for many years to come. Instead of judging only the initial cost, realize that the overall cost is the most important consideration. It has always been true that the important question is not, “how much does such-and-such cost?”, but rather, “what am I actually getting for my money?”

So, is a living trust expensive? While it is an initial investment, the savings will be so much greater in the long run. We can show you how to plan for a lifetime, save money, save taxes, save court costs and fees, and get a “superior” estate or business succession plan, all at the lowest overall cost to you and your loved ones.

Are you ready to get started on your living trust? We want you to have a confident plan for the future so that you can worry less and enjoy life more. Schedule a meeting with us today.
