Los Angeles Testamentary Trust Attorney

Why Do You Need a Testamentary Trust?

A testamentary trust is simply a trust established in a person's will, which takes effect after he or she dies. A  testamentary trust lawyer at the Los Angeles Law Offices of David A. Shapiro can assist you in establishing such a trust as part of your will or estate planning. Let our competent and knowledgeable legal team provide you with the legal solutions you need for your testamentary trust. 

This type of trust is often created for minor children, disabled children, or young adult children when large funds, such as life insurance funds, are to be distributed after the parents' death. A testamentary trust is then created and a trustee is appointed to maintain the funds for a specified time. This time period could last, for example, until the children reach a certain age, at which time the trust expires.
