Living Trusts

Living Trust Attorney located in Muscatine, IA

In helping people throughout the Muscatine area evaluate and achieve their estate planning goals, we sometimes determine that establishment of a living trust would be beneficial.

IS SETTING UP A TRUST AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF YOUR ESTATE PLANNING?

The term "living trust" itself means that the trust is set up and funded while the person doing so (the grantor) is alive.
