I feel empowered knowing my small business will be in good hands with a trust, managed privately by the trustee I choose, and not by a public court.”” Emma Age: 26 ““Modern Trust makes adulting easy. I feel peace of mind knowing that the life and possessions that I work hard for are protected from probate - especially my main man and pug, Charlie.”” Noah Age: 33 ““I have two adult children and five grandchildren. I completed my estate planning in under an hour using the Modern Trust website. I feel secure knowing that my loved ones will be provided for when I pass.”” Cheryl Age: 60 ““After the madness of planning our wedding, we took our relationship to the next level by creating a living trust. While initially unsure if we needed a will or trust for our estate planning, we decided on Modern Trust for the privacy and ease of updating as we grow our family.”” Stephanie & Ryan Age: 35/33 ““I was given a Modern Trust by my mom as a graduation present after I finished my bachelor's degree. Even though I don't have a lot of assets yet, my trust will describe who gets what if something happens to me. Adding assets and using the Modern Trust app was an awesome experience, and I can't wait to built on it as I enter the workforce and build my empire.”” Trent Age: 22 ““When Brian and I got married, we wanted to be sure that our assets were secure, so we chose a trust over a will due to the private, non-contestable nature of a trust. The Modern Trust app has a sleek design and is super user friendly - we’ll definitely be sharing the app with our in-laws.”” Cory & Brian Age: 36/31 Commonly Asked Questions Why are living trusts so popular? Living trusts are popular because they help people and families save time and money, and in some cases, minimize taxes. Living trusts are private documents that can be easily managed or changed. Living trusts also preserve your control over your assets, because they don’t go through the public probate court. With a living trust, your chosen successor trustee can easily and privately manage your estate and distribute the remaining assets to the beneficiaries of your trust when you’re gone, all without probate court supervision. What is a living trust? A living trust is a legal document that states who you would like to manage your trust assets if you become incapacitated, and who will receive your trust assets if you pass away. A living trust also allows you to specify specific conditions upon which individual beneficiaries can qualify to receive their trust assets. For example, a living trust may require that a younger beneficiary must attain a certain age before they can receive their money, say, age 25 or 30, with the additional provision that they can access their money for certain purposes before that age, for health, education or maintenance. Essentially, a living trust distributes your assets to your loved ones and allows for the private management and distribution of those assets, with the help of a successor trustee that you choose, usually a family member or trusted friend or advisor, instead of relying on a judge in the public court. What's the difference between a trust and a will? Basically, a living trust is private and a will becomes public. A trust is a way of holding title to the things you already own, and a place to hold things that you will acquire in the future. You can own your house, bank accounts, investments and other real and personal property in a trust. During your lifetime, you are the creator, trustee, and the beneficiary of your own trust. This kind of trust is often referred to as a living trust or a revocable trust. You can cancel, revoke, or change your trust anytime during your lifetime. After you’re gone, your trust can pass assets to your loved ones just like a will, only much more efficiently. A trust is a document meant to be administered privately. A will, on the other hand, is a public document that usually goes through the public probate court, and almost always requires an attorney to administer and interpret. It often takes months or years to probate a will, and it can also be very expensive, sometimes costing 6% or more of the entire gross estate in court costs and attorney fees. Alternatively, with a trust, your hand-picked successor trustee can distribute your assets to your loved ones privately after you’ve passed, under the exact terms you dictated, without having to go through an expensive, public probate court process or incurring attorney fees. Ultimately, wills are public and are usually more expensive to administer, while trusts are private, efficient, and less expensive to administer. If I’m not ready to create a living trust, can I start with a simple will? Absolutely yes! It’s much better to have at least a simple will than nothing at all. If you don’t have a will or trust, then the state where you reside will decide who gets your money when you’re gone. You can use Modern Trust to create a simple will now. Later, when you own real estate or have business assets, you can upgrade to a living trust in order to avoid probate. But creating a simple will now is better than allowing your beneficiaries to be determined by the probate court judge according to state law. What is a Pourover Will? A Pourover Will is a companion document to a living trust, where the beneficiary of the Pourover Will is the living trust. Yes, that’s right, the primary beneficiary of the pourover will is the living trust. And it is the living trust that says who gets what and when. It is important to have a Pourover Will with your living trust because sometimes people forget to properly fund their living trust with their probatable assets. In other words, when a person creates a living trust, they must also place their real estate and business interests into the trust in order to avoid probate, and so that the assets will be considered trust assets, which can then be distributed according to the terms of the living trust. Sometimes, however, people forget to properly title their real estate or other assets in the name of their living trust. In such cases, the Pourover Will is useful, because it states that any assets that were inadvertently left out of the trust should be transferred into the trust upon death, and thereafter administered according to the terms of the trust. Ultimately, then, the Pourover Will serves as a back up to the trust, in case someone forgets to put something into the trust. It’s a very simple will that says that whatever was left out of the living trust, gets poured over into the trust at death. What’s better for me, a trust or a will? That depends. Generally, if you own real estate or have a business, or if you want your children or beneficiaries to attain a certain age before they receive their inheritance, then a living trust will be better. Can I upgrade from a simple will to a living trust later? Yes, you can start with a simple will in order to have some basic protection for your estate in place, and later, when you’re ready, or if it becomes necessary, you can create a living trust together with a new Pourover Will. What happens if I lose my will? Sometime evidence can be introduced to authenticate a copy of a will, but the public probate usually requires an original will, and if you’ve lost it, you will have to create a new one. Modern Trust allows you to update and create a new will anytime. Where should I keep my trust and will? Your Modern Trust can be saved, maintained and accessed online. Or, you can print out a copy of your trust and keep it in your personal files or in a safety deposit box. You may also keep a signed copy of your living trust on your own computer. With a will, however, it is important to print out and keep a signed copy in your possession, since most courts require a signed original will. How do I make changes to my Modern Trust or will? It’s easy - whenever you want to change your documents, just log on to Modern Trust, access your personal dashboard, make any changes to your beneficiaries, trustees, executors or assets, and then simply review and sign your new trust or will documents.
