Why Funding Your Trust Matters Tuesday, May 25 10AM
|
|
|

Funding your trust is the process of transferring your assets from your name (joint ownership, an old trust name, etc.) into the name of your newly established trust.
A trust is a fantastic tool, but if it isn’t funded, it’s barely worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s like buying a new car, but not putting any gas in it! Great to look at and talk about, but it isn’t going to get you very far.

Join Carrier Law Funding Paralegals, Stacey Williams and Kate Cook, as they explain the pitfalls of not re-titling assets into a trust, an overview of the Trust Funding Process, and the time involved. Workshop Flyer
This is a Live, one-hour Zoom webinar. Registration required.
