About the session:
When you think about your estate plans, many people wonder if they should use a trust or if a simple will is all they need. In this presentation, you will learn about trust basics as well as numerous instances where having a trust is beneficial. From the simple desire to avoid probate to the more complicated aspiration to benefit both heirs and charity on a tax-advantaged basis, the talk will address how trusts can achieve those goals and more.
