While we never know what tomorrow may bring, planning for the future by creating wills and trusts can be an effective way to protect and provide for your loved ones after you pass. In the absence of such estate planning documents, however, your surviving loved ones may have to face costly and lengthy probate, and in some cases, this can leave little to financial support to the family members who may have had primary claim to the estate. In other cases, a lack of wills and trusts can mean that a court ends up deciding who should get your assets – and this can be very different than what you would have wanted.
To prevent your loved ones from having to try to guess your final wishes (or, possibly worse, endure contentious, costly probate), it’s critical that you get a will and/or trusts in place now.

Our Trusts-Based Estate Planning Services
While wills are generally focused on a person’s entire estate, trusts typically handle a certain portion of the assets for a particular individual or group of individuals. More specifically, a trust is a fiduciary relationship in which some third party (i.e., the trustee) oversees some asset on behalf of another individual (i.e., the beneficiary).
In addition to helping people avoid probate and to allowing beneficiaries to gain access to certain assets more quickly than if these assets were granted via a will, trusts can be powerful ways to save money on estate taxes while ensuring that your loved ones are provided for in the future
At Goldman Law, LLC, our Denver wills and trusts lawyer can help you determine whether developing a trust is right for you and, if so, what the best trust would be for your needs. Some of the different types of trust that our attorney can help our clients set up and administer include (but are not limited to):
- Revocable and irrevocable trusts
- Living trusts
- Bypass trusts
- Testamentary trusts
