We Help Plan for Your Future So You Can Enjoy Your Present
A trust is a documented legal arrangement that allows you to distribute assets into a trust under the management of a trustee for the benefit of your family and other beneficiaries. Unlike a will, a trust avoids probate, ensuring a faster, more private, and flexible asset distribution process.

What is a Trust & How Can It Help You?
Revocable Living Trusts

Special Needs Trusts
Provide for a loved one with disabilities without jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits.
Benefits of a Revocable Living Trust
A revocable trust is a powerful estate planning tool that allows you to retain control of your assets while alive and specify how they should be managed if you are incapacitated and after your passing. It can save your family time, money and stress in the long run.
✔️ Avoids Probate – Bypasses the court system, ensuring faster and smoother asset distribution.
✔️ Maintains Privacy – Unlike a will, a trust keeps your estate details confidential and out of public record.
✔️ Provides Flexibility – You can modify or revoke the trust during your lifetime as circumstances change.
✔️ Ensures Continuity – If you become incapacitated, your successor trustee can manage your affairs without court intervention.

Should You Choose a Trust Over a Will?
Many people wonder if they need a trust or if a will is sufficient. While both play a role in estate planning, a trust offers greater flexibility and efficiency for managing assets.
If you own real estate (especially outside of Colorado), significant assets, or have dependents with special needs, a trust may be the best option to ensure your estate is handled smoothly and privately. A trust can also prevent the distribution of assets to a beneficiary who has substance abuse, marriage, or financial problems.

If you have a child or family member with a disability, a special needs trust (SNT) ensures they receive financial support without jeopardizing eligibility for government programs like Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
🔹 Preserves eligibility – Assets held in an SNT do not count toward Medicaid or SSI limits.
🔹 Provides long-term financial security – Allows you to set aside funds for medical care, housing, education, and personal expenses.
🔹 Offers professional management – A trustee oversees funds for the beneficiary’s best interests.
