Providing legal protection
for the trustor's assets

Trusts can be recommended for many individuals regardless of age, for several reasons. Trusts are used by clients looking to determine long-term control over complex assets, arrange for the care of vulnerable family members in the event of the caregiver’s death or incapacity, reduce income tax liabilities, or minimize or avoid probate fees. With its versatility, the creation of a trust is often an important part of the estate planning process at FH&P Lawyers.
