The living, or inter vivos, trust can be a reasonably priced alternative to a will and it avoids probate altogether . . . Even for people of modest means, the living trust can be a good alternative to the traditional will." American Association of Retired Persons, A Report on Probate, 1989 | "Trusts offer something for everyone. Do you want to avoid probate? Minimize estate taxes? Do you need to provide protection for a handicapped child or disabled relative? Are you married but planning to leave an inheritance to children from a prior marriage? If your answer to any or all of these questions is Yes, a trust may be for you." Modern Maturity Magazine, August/September, 1991 |
