Trusts And Long-Term Estate Planning: Why You Can't Always Trust Your Trust (VIRTUAL)Financial MasteryThe Trust is a prevalent component and tool to be used in estate planning. However, there are various vastly different Trust options, and the question arises: “Am I using the right Trust for my needs and goals?” Often used Trusts include living Trusts, Testamentary Trusts, and Irrevocable Trusts; each serves a different purpose, and each has a different result. One common problem that often needs addressing is the over-utilization of the Living Trust for goals or problems that it does not resolve. For example, a Living Trust probably doesn’t protect your assets against Medicaid and the nursing home. The Irrevocable Trust and the Testamentary Trust have their strengths and weaknesses. Define the strengths and weaknesses of each type of Trust and when to use them. Explore your goals and wishes to see where they fall in the realm of Trusts.Winter/Spring 2026
