Omaha Trusts Lawyer - Living Trusts & Estate Planning
A Flexible Tool To Manage And Transfer Assets
A trust holds assets for beneficiaries under a trustee's management. Revocable living trusts are popular for lifetime control and smoother transfers; irrevocable trusts serve specific goals. Decker Law Offices will help you decide which structure, if any, fits your estate.
Benefits of a Revocable Living Trust
Avoid Probate, Maintain Privacy, Ensure Continuity
Assets titled to your trust can bypass probate, saving time and cost; a successor trustee can step in if you become incapacitated; and, unlike a will, most trust terms remain private. You can amend or revoke during life as circumstances change.
Is a Trust Right for You?
When A Will Is Enough-And When It Isn't
A trust may make sense if you own real estate in multiple states, want privacy, have minor beneficiaries, or need staggered distributions. If your estate is modest and straightforward, a well-drafted will may be sufficient-our advice is honest and tailored, not one-size-fits-all.

FAQ: Trusts
Clear Guidance Before You Decide
Does a revocable trust protect assets from creditors or nursing home costs?
Generally no-other planning may be needed.
Can I be my own trustee?
Yes; you'll name a successor for incapacity or death.
Do I still need a will?
Typically yes-a pour-over will captures any assets not retitled to the trust.
