Queens County Trusts Lawyers

There are several different types of trusts that serve different purposes, including:

• Revocable: Also called living trusts, you can alter or revoke these during your lifetime. 
• Irrevocable: You cannot alter or terminate these once you have created one. The tradeoff is that they offer greater asset protection. 
• Special needs: These can deliver financial support for people with disabilities while maintaining their eligibility for government benefits.
• Charitable: You can use these to donate assets or income to a charitable organization while receiving tax benefits.
