What is a Trust?
A trust is a legal instrument that facilitates the transfer of assets to a legal entity known as a trust, which subsequently holds and manages these assets for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. Depending on your specific circumstances, trusts can offer numerous advantages. They provide control over the distribution of assets, help avoid the probate process, reduce estate taxes, and accommodate special situations. At Black Creek Legal, we collaborate with you to establish trusts that reflect your values and ensure that your assets are managed in accordance with your wishes.

Revocable Living Trusts
A revocable living trust is an essential instrument that enables you to retain control over your assets throughout your lifetime, providing the adaptability to amend or terminate the trust as your circumstances evolve. This type of trust serves as a fundamental component of comprehensive estate planning, offering the advantage of circumventing the probate process while ensuring that your assets are distributed in accordance with your directives. Our experienced attorneys will assist you in the formulation and establishment of a revocable living trust, ensuring that it is meticulously structured to align with your unique requirements and to provide for your beneficiaries effectively.
Irrevocable Trusts
An irrevocable trust is an effective instrument for minimizing estate taxes, safeguarding assets against creditors, and preserving wealth for future generations. Once constituted, an irrevocable trust is immutable, making it the ideal choice for individuals seeking to exclude assets from their taxable estate. The esteemed attorneys at Black Creek Legal possess significant expertise in structuring irrevocable trusts that align with your estate planning objectives, ensuring both security and peace of mind.
Supplemental Needs Trust
A Supplemental Needs Trust is meticulously structured to support a loved one with disabilities while safeguarding their eligibility for vital government benefits. This trust ensures that financial resources are available to enhance the beneficiary’s quality of life without compromising access to essential programs such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). At Black Creek Legal, our team is committed to assisting you in establishing a Supplemental Needs Trust that delivers financial security and peace of mind for both you and your loved one.
Charitable Trusts
For individuals seeking to achieve a lasting impact through philanthropy, establishing a charitable trust offers a strategic avenue to support causes of personal significance while securing potential tax advantages. Whether you are considering the formation of a charitable remainder trust, a charitable lead trust, or other philanthropic structures, our experienced attorneys are prepared to collaborate with you in crafting a trust that both reflects your altruistic goals and optimizes the benefits for you and the beneficiary organizations.
