About the Book
If you create a living trust, your property will bypass lengthy and expensive probate proceedings at your death and go directly to your beneficiaries, quickly and easily. And if you and your spouse create an AB trust, you may also be able to save your family thousands of dollars in estate taxes. In plain English, Make Your Own Living Trust explains how to create a trust yourself, without hiring a lawyer. Unless you take steps before your death, your property will probably have to go through an expensive -- and needless -- probate court process. This book has everything you need to create your own probate-avoiding living trust. Even under the new tax laws, if you and your spouse have a combined net worth of more than $1.5 million, federal estate taxes may be due after the second spouse dies. An AB trust allows you to both avoid probate and reduce or eliminate estate taxes. Make Your Own Living Trust helps you create this type of trust. Completely updated and revised, the 6th edition covers the decreasing federal estate tax -- and the subsequent rise of many states' estate taxes in response. Book jacket.
