WILLS & LIVING TRUST
Using Trusts To Safeguard Assets Today And In The Years Ahead
If a will is the cornerstone of an estate plan, a trust is a roof that provides shelter — from taxes, from
probate and from the ravages of end-of-life care. Trusts can also safeguard the assets of vulnerable
loved ones. At DeAngelus Goralczyk, PLLC, our estate planning lawyers are committed to helping New
York families benefit from the protections that trusts offer.

The Advantages Associated With Trusts
​
The benefits of trusts are numerous. A trust can be used to avoid probate, which is especially beneficial
to those who own property in multiple jurisdictions. A trust can preserve a loved one’s eligibility to
receive public benefits or provide care for a minor or disabled beneficiary. Trusts can be used to manage
a property on behalf of a loved one who cannot handle the responsibility of managing the property on
his or her own. Certain trusts can mitigate the bite of estate taxes. Whatever your needs are, our
attorneys can help you find a trust that will help you achieve your goals.
