Ep #244 - Do I Really Need a Living Trust?

Grow Money Business with Grant Bledsoe

Mailbag Question:

“I recently met with an attorney to get my estate plan done. They recommended that I create a living trust to hold some investments and my house. Is that legitimate? It sounds like an upsell better suited for very rich people.”

Intro:

Our faithful listener spoke with an attorney about estate planning recently, who recommended a living trust as part of his plan. We cover the pros and cons of living trusts and whether the recommendation is an upsell from the attorney.
