A trust lawyer specializes in general estate planning, but specifically in the creation of trusts to meet the needs of clients. There are many different types of trusts that are available to meet the needs of clients, depending on the type of assets that they own, and the intended disposition of those assets upon their deaths. Common examples of trusts are revocable, or living, trusts, which can be revoked or changed at any time during the lifetime of the grantor, irrevocable trusts, which cannot be changed absent express permission of the trust beneficiaries, and charitable trusts, which are designed to support certain charitable organizations following a grantor's death. Whatever trust best suits your needs, a trust lawyer will be able to help you choose the right trust for you.
