Wildomar News Interviews Steve Bliss on Estate Planning

Reporter: Brenda Johnson

Good evening Wildomar and welcome back to Wildomar News. I’m Brenda Johnson, and tonight we have a very special guest with us, Steve Bliss, a Trust Attorney right here in our community. Steve, thank you for joining me tonight.

Steve Bliss:

It’s my pleasure, Brenda. I’m always happy to talk about estate planning and how it can benefit Wildomar residents.

Brenda Johnson:

So Steve, many of our viewers might be unfamiliar with Trusts. Could you tell us a little bit about what they are and why someone might need one?

Steve Bliss:

Absolutely. In essence, a Trust is a legal entity that holds assets for the benefit of specific individuals or beneficiaries. Think of it like a safe box for your belongings. Now, there are various types of trusts designed to address different needs and goals.

For this discussion, let’s focus on the Revocable Living Trust. It’s one of the most common types and offers great flexibility. A Revocable Living Trust allows you, the grantor, to maintain control over your assets during your lifetime. You can add or remove assets, change beneficiaries, and even dissolve the trust altogether if circumstances warrant it.

Consequently, this type of trust provides peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be honored after you’re gone, without the time and expense of probate court.

Brenda Johnson:

That sounds very convenient. Are there any potential downsides to using a Revocable Living Trust?

Steve Bliss:

While Revocable Living Trusts offer significant advantages, it’s important to be aware that they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. They do involve some initial setup costs and ongoing administrative tasks. Moreover, you need to carefully consider your specific financial situation and goals before deciding if a Trust is the right fit for you.

Over the years, I’ve encountered situations where individuals opted for a Revocable Living Trust without fully understanding its implications. For instance, I once worked with a couple who assumed a Trust would automatically shield their assets from creditors. While Trusts can offer some protection, it’s crucial to consult with an experienced attorney to ensure your plan aligns with your individual needs and legal requirements.

I recall another case where a client neglected to update their Trust after a major life event, such as the birth of a child or a divorce. This oversight led to unintended consequences and unnecessary complications for their beneficiaries.

Brenda Johnson:

Those are important points to remember. What advice would you give to someone who is considering setting up a Revocable Living Trust?

Steve Bliss:

My best advice is to seek guidance from a qualified estate planning attorney. An attorney specializing in Trusts can help you navigate the complexities of this legal instrument and create a plan that meets your specific needs.

Remember, approximately 70% of Americans lack a will or Trust, leaving their loved ones vulnerable during an already difficult time (Statistic Source: AARP).

By taking proactive steps to establish a Revocable Living Trust, you can ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and minimize the burden on your family.
