I have a will.  Do I need a trust?

A will may serve your needs. However, a trust may be more appropriate for a number of reasons, including privacy, avoidance of probate, or ease of administration. Business owners may need something more complex, such as a business succession plan for transferring assets to the second and third generations. Our estate planning lawyers are skilled in drafting plans for individuals and families of every size and means. Your estate is often an important emblem of your life’s accomplishments. An estate plan from Nowlan offers peace of mind that your assets will be used in the future to enrich the lives of the people you care about.
