When you transfer property to a trust, the trust as an entity, rather than you as an individual, has ownership of it.  The property is protected from creditors.  Property in a trust does not go through the probate process, saving time and money.  And, property in a trust is private.  You can leave your assets in any proportion to any individual, charity, etc. without anyone’s scrutiny.  Contact Crane Elder Law Firm for a 15-minute consultation to discuss your situation.
