Plan for the future now so you can relax with peace of mind. A living trust can protect your family's finances so there's no worries later.

The difference between a will and a trust is that a will goes into effect only after you die, while a trust takes effect as soon as you create it. A will is a legal document that clearly states who will receive your property when you die, and it appoints a legal representative to carry out your wishes. By contrast, a trust can be used to begin distributing property to your loved ones before death, at death, or after you pass on.

With a living trust, you can protect your family, your home and other important assets, and avoid the probate court, which can be a lengthy and expensive legal process.

YOUR WILLS & TRUSTS LAW FIRM IN PITTSBURGH

You’ve heard that if you do nothing else to take care of your legal affairs, you should at least write a will, and that is pretty good advice.

If you don’t make a will before your death, state law will determine who gets your property. Not only that, but the court system can also decide who will raise your children. In any situation, the person the judge chooses may not be the person you would have chosen yourself. 

Behrend & Ernsberger has an estate administration attorney in Pittsburgh, Pa, who will ensure your wishes are known and carried out after you are gone. The probate lawyers at our law firm know that writing such an important document can seem daunting, but it doesn’t need to be.

Working with our attorney for wills and trusts simplifies the process for you so you can secure your future and the future of your family.
