Scam Alert: We are posting this message to make you aware of a SCAM that is falsely using the name of Attorney Tracy Williams. The SCAM seems to be occurring via telephone and/or text messages at this time. The scammers allege that Attorney Williams has filed legal proceedings against the person they are calling or texting, and they provide a false case number. The scammers also provide a fake toll-free number and request payment of fines from the potential victim. My office would never request payment of fines. If you receive any communication from these scammers, please alert our office. Your safety and privacy are our top priority.
Trusts & Trust Administration
A "living" trust is one that is created during your lifetime. A revocable living trust is one that can be changed or amended during your lifetime. It can also be revoked (cancelled) entirely before you die, if you so choose. Generally, a revocable living trust becomes "irrevocable" (unable to be revoked) after the death of the Grantor (the person who created the trust).
Trusts can be beneficial, even to someone with minimal wealth. If you want to pass assets to minor children, for example, or you simply want to maintain your privacy, a Trust can be a useful tool. There are different kinds of Trusts that can be established.
However, not everyone needs a Trust. At Barbour and Williams Law, we can help you determine which Trust, if any, is best for your unique situation. If one is needed, we can draft it for you as part of a well-rounded estate plan.
In addition to drafting Trusts, our attorneys can serve as the Trustee of your Trust document, if needed. In this role, we administer the Trust document in accordance with its terms and carry out any required duties.
Even if we are not serving as Trustee of the Trust document, we can assist the named Trustee with preparing the annual accounting paperwork that is sometimes required. The paperwork ("account") may be due to the Court, or it may be sent to the beneficiaries on an annual basis, or both. Contact us today if you need help with a Trust accounting.
