IRA Stretch Trust Stretching an IRA trust simply allows an IRA to be stretched over multiple generations. It allows for your IRA to extend into the financial life of your children and even grandchildren after your death. This can also help to ensure that the IRA remains tax deferred for as long as possible.

Grandchildren trusts- Do you have grandchildren that you want to leave money to specifically? Our office can help you lay out the specific requests of leaving assets to your grandchildren in your trust. Whether your grandchild(ren) are adults or minors, we can help to make sure they are left with the assets or educational funding that you wish for them to have upon your passing.

Bring in the New Year with Charity in mind....Charitable remainder trusts Do you want some of your money to go to a charity upon your passing?

Family pot trust - If you have minor children, you naturally want to provide for them in the event something happens to you - but how do you do it? Most people naturally think: "I want to leave everything I have to my children equally." While this is everyone's intent, that is not possible in reality with minor children. One child may have to go to the doctor more than the other, or have sport expenses or schooling expenses or dental expenses. No parent ever spends the equal ...amount on all children during their life which is why we don't plan for that after you're gone. The family pot trust allows for trustee to spend money on your minor children as needed; just like you would do if you were still alive. The remaining amount when your children reach adulthood will be split equally, but this allows for the proper care of all of your children in order to protect against the uncertainties in the future.

Pet trust - don't forget about your non-human family members! Your pets have provided you with love and companionship throughout your life, so make sure that you have provided for their well-being when you are gone.

Discretionary trust - Do you have a loved one who has creditor problems, marital problems, drug or alcohol problems? Are you concerned about leaving money outright to them? We have your solution! We can craft your trust to include provisions and directions that will allow the money left to your loved one to be protected from creditors, spouses and bad decision making by limiting their access to a standard decided on with you, but usually for their health, education, maintenance and support. You can still provide for your loved one and protect them from themselves.
