Reasons NOT to Get a Trust (Avoid These Estate Planning Mistakes)

Many times Attorneys talk us into getting an un-necessary trust or talk us out of a trust when having one would save our family from a lot of expense and heartache when we pass away. What can we do to prepare our family ahead of time? What are the biggest mistakes we want to avoid when setting up trusts and completing our estate plans?

The first question to ask any financial adviser is, “Are you a fiduciary to me 100% of the time”. Get the answer in writing Please note that some people call themselves “fee-based”. This is NOT the same as fee-only. Fee-only advisers have committed to being fiduciary to you 100% of the time. Personally, I would only hire an adviser who is a fiduciary to me 100% of the time. This is not a suggestion on what you should do. Just sharing my personal preference.

Spoiler Alert: There are no “get rich” programs. Rather, just basic blocking & tackling and putting in time and care. Do your homework, choose wisely and (IMHO) work with experienced professionals who are fiduciary to you 100% of the time.
