A Helpful Guide to Testamentary Trusts

Testamentary Trusts are drafted in wills for tax advantages and to protect your assets. Our free guide will help you understand if this is right for you.

No one knows the future.  One of the difficulties with preparing wills is that it is very difficult to peer into the future.  No one knows when the will-maker will pass away.  No one knows what the circumstances of a will maker's beneficiary might be at that time.  This guide provides you with an outline of what a testamentary trust is, the advantages of a trust and provides examples of who they operate.
