Warwick Trust Lawyer

Creating a trust is an important part of planning your estate. It’s helpful for your loved ones, and it makes distribution of your assets much more streamlined. However, they require a bit of maintenance, and your Warwick, RI trust lawyer can help. At Aptt Law LLC, we’re ready to use our 10+ years of legal experience to walk you through the process. Read on to see why a trust planner is so important, and contact us today to get started.

Warwick, RI Trust Lawyer

When a person passes away without leaving behind a proper estate plan, it only makes things harder for their loved ones. Rather than a reliable road map that explains what should be done with their assets (and what their assets entail in the first place), their entire estate may be distributed according to the decisions of the state. This means that a former spouse or an estranged family member may get control of the estate by default.

Creating a will is much better than having no estate plan at all. With the help of your will and trust lawyer, you can draft up a list of your assets, your beneficiaries, and who gets what after your death. Your family will know what to do after your passing, and there’s much less chance for infighting and legal issues.

However, when you create a will, your family will still need to deal with probate. This is a lengthy process, and it has to be completed before your assets are distributed. First of all, your beneficiaries need to be notified. Then your assets need to be valued. And all the relevant legal fees need to be paid. Unfortunately, at every step of probate, people can contest decisions and hold up the process. A will is better than nothing, but probate’s still a pain.

Fortunately, you can spare your family the probate process by creating a trust. When you work with a Warwick trust lawyer, you can put your assets in a secure trust for the benefit of your loved ones. And since those assets are legally owned by the trust (not by you) your loved ones won’t have to deal with probate after your death.

  I’ve had the privilege of knowing Geoff on a professional level for the past four years. We have cross multiple times because we travel in circles of like-minded entrepreneurs dedicated to seizing the incredible opportunities available to us in this amazing country. Equally important, we share a commitment to taking the right steps to protect our assets and achievements.

Within this circle, we’ve exchanged invaluable insights and expertise, helping one another grow as professionals and individuals. This collaborative environment is what gave me the confidence and assurance that Geoff is the correct professional to guide me when I needed a comprehensive strategy to safeguard my hard-earned assets and ensure my loved ones avoid unnecessary probate complications.

While many can set up a trust, Geoff goes beyond the basics. He obviously takes the time to understand your perspective, values, and vision for the future. I highly recommend Geoff not only for his exceptional knowledge and service but also for his firsthand experience as an active investor and his connection to a high-quality network of professionals focused on building generational wealth.

  I have know Geoff Aptt now for over a decade and collaborated with him on a number of legal manners on behalf of myself and my clients. He’s honest, hardworking, smart, and willing to bring in experts when needed, which isn’t often. He is certainly one of the first people that come to mind when I need legal assistance of any sort, especially in business, trusts, and estate matters. Top notch and a down to earth straight shooter. I highly recommend.

  Geoffrey is extremely professional and accommodating. He stated a price within the first 15 minutes of meeting us to ensure that we were aware of what to expect and explained all aspects of our paperwork clearly. Geoffrey also made arrangements to work around our schedule. I would gladly recommend him to anyone seeking an estate lawyer.

  Geoff and his paralegal were both amazing in guiding my wife and I through our trust journey. I feel they truly cared about our children's future as they laid out our options in great detail, and they made sure the things we decided on paper met our fullest intent. Even as we made changes right upto signing the final product.
