From Matus Law Group — New York Trusts Lawyers lays out the roadmap for how trusts transform estate planning into a tool for legacy, protection, and peace of mind. In this episode, we explore the roles of trustee, grantor, and beneficiary, and dig into why so many families turn to the guidance of a Trust Lawyer in New York City. You’ll hear how the experts at Matus Law Group — including Kristine Carranceja‑Gurski and Christine Matus — help clients structure trusts that align with their vision for the future.
We’ll walk through the many types of trusts — bloodline trusts, revocable living trusts, special needs trusts, marital trusts, credit‑shelter (bypass) trusts, asset protection trusts, dynasty trusts, spendthrift trusts, standby trusts, and charitable trusts — comparing their benefits, trade‑offs, and how they fit into a comprehensive estate plan. You’ll get a clear picture of when and why families choose each type, and how those vehicles can shield against probate, reduce estate taxes, and protect privacy.
Next, we explore the practical side: the legal responsibilities of trust administration, compliance with state and federal laws, and how a fiduciary lawyer steps in to manage trust assets, notify beneficiaries, address creditors, and settle disputes. You’ll hear real‑world scenarios illustrating mistakes people make when they try to navigate trusts without legal counsel, and how skilled counsel ensures that your wishes are honored and your loved ones are protected.
Finally, this episode gives you a path forward: questions to ask when choosing a trust attorney, how to plan for your unique family needs, and how to preserve your legacy for future generations. Whether you're just beginning to think about trusts, dealing with special needs planning, or revisiting an existing plan, this conversation with Matus Law Group gives clarity, confidence, and direction.
