Living Trust Lawyer

As family law attorneys, we know that one of the most important things you can do for your family is to establish a living trust. If you own property, putting it into a living trust will help protect your family from losing it to probate taxes and legal fees, in the event of your death.

At the family law office of Thomas E. Bouman, Attorney at Law, we explain to our clients that fees and taxes can exceed ten percent of the fair market value of an estate. Any assets you put into a living trust are free from probate tax, and the accompanying legal fees your family will pay to protect the estate.

When you are ready to discuss ways to protect your estate from probate taxes and fees, call a Santa Clara living will attorney at the office of Thomas E. Bouman, Attorney at Law. We will help you establish a living trust to provide your family with the peace of mind to carry out your directives, in the event you become incapacitated.

We Assist Clients with the Following Estate Planning Law Matters:

With a living trust in place, a trustee will be authorized to lease your property and make necessary repairs for sale, without being required to first seek permission from the probate court. The trustee will then have the ability to distribute the proceeds from the estate to your selected beneficiaries, without the court’s direction.
