 Hi, I'm Hollis Logue and I've been an estate planning attorney for over 20 years. What makes my office unique is not only my professional experience in estate planning, but that I was once an elementary school teacher. Estate planning is a serious matter and the complex concepts can be difficult to understand. My little video is meant to teach you an important aspect of estate planning in an easy to understand format. If you'd like to discuss your particular estate planning questions, please fill out the appointment request form located on our website or call our office at 408-288-7878. Whether you're single or married, rich or not quite so rich, your best protection comes from a living trust-centered estate plan. But no matter what the specific details of your living trust might be, there are some common elements in most trust-centered estate plans. And those elements are your rules, your recipe, and your assets. Let's talk about each part. First of all, your rules. Your rules concern the day-to-day handling of your trust. Basically, those rules boil down to you can do anything you want, anytime you want. You can spend it all or give it all away and you can buy new assets to add to your trust. The recipe part. Well, the recipe part concerns what happens when you or you and your spouse pass away. Who are your beneficiaries? How much do they receive from you? And how and when do they receive it? This is such an important part of your trust. My years of experience in estate planning has taught me that this vital part of your plan takes time. I work closely with my clients to teach them the pros and cons of each planning option. And finally, the assets part. In my office, we teach you how to add and subtract assets to and from your trust. This is easy once you learn the three important steps. I pay the attorney every time you change an account or buy a new house. We teach our clients how to manage their assets so they can add and delete assets from their trust themselves. And if you need help, we don't charge our clients for phone calls. Hey, call my office and let's set up a time for you to come in. Talk about your living trust center to state plan. I'm Hollis Logue. My phone number is 408-288-7878. Or visit our website.
