About this listen

Living Trusts for Everyone is the best resource for setting up a living trust. Explaining in specific terms what benefits a trust will have, Ronald Farrington Sharp gives the tools necessary to set up a loved one's trust with no lawyers and no expense.

Wills benefit lawyers. Trusts benefit the clients. Too often lawyers sell wills to clients only to sit back and wait to sell their probate services to their clients' heirs. Ronald Farrington Sharp describes the best way to handle modern estate planning and details the many advantages trusts have over wills in not only eliminating probate but in also protecting your assets for your heirs. Sharp explains why legal services are not needed to do the clerical work in settling a trust after death.

This updated edition includes new information on an array of subjects, including elimination of the federal estate tax for most estates due to increased exemption amounts; online assets; the use of passwords, usernames, and websites; keeping trustees honest and the process of removing trustees for malfeasance; forms for simplifying the planning process; and strategies to lower attorneys' fees.

With no legal jargon, just step-by-step instructions and sample form letters, Living Trusts for Everyone takes the mystery out of the process of setting up a trust.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Very good information.

very good information for the wife and I. we just finished our will approximately 6 months ago. I am 52 and she is 48. we do have real estate as well as a mutual fund. my frustration is with my attorney. finding out that we really did not need to do a will. we really should have just done a living trust. our next step is to do the trust and come up with a way to where it stays active even after we pass. would like to set up to where it keeps all of the real estate in it as well as the mutual fund and make distributions to our kids and grandkids at certain times in their lives.

Reduce fear of wills and trusts

This is an excellent review of how and why trusts are needed to smooth out a persons desires upon death. It also is a great primmer for anyone needing to act as an estate officer. Easy read just do it.
