Trust Attorney in Hickory, North Carolina

As trust attorneys serving Hickory, North Carolina, we recommend setting up a trust for any of the following reasons:

  • Asset management- A trust can be used to manage assets for minors or others whom you would prefer to give allocated benefits rather than a full dispersal.
  • Asset protection- An effective way to keep assets from being lost in a claim situation is to not own them personally. A trust also protects the assets from being contested will legal battles.
  • Probate and privacy- During the probate process, certain information becomes public. If you want to avoid certain assets being part of probate and also protect privacy, a trust attorney can set up a trust agreement that is completely private and confidential. In fact, a will can be completely replaced with a trust.
  • Charitable giving- A trust can be the ideal avenue for setting up gifts to charities.
