Russell and his team made my situation nothing short of amazing for the situation I was in. All of my questions were always answered and I never was made to feel as if I was dumb to have gotten in the financial situation that I did. I have already referred a friend and would refer any family and friends to him and his team.

I want to take a moment and tell you about [Weekes Law] – I will try to keep it short. I have learned that when you have to choose an attorney to fight for you and your child’s life in court, you should review the prior successes of the attorney. But honestly, not only did I need an aggressive pit-bull type of attorney, I also needed an attorney with a kind heart, someone that could handle an over-aggressive ex and also be caring to me. Weekes Law has a caring family law attorney and also an aggressive advocate in court. I highly recommend [Weekes Law] and all of their professional staff (I’ve spoken with all of them over this child custody dispute and divorce mess). When it’s your turn to have to fight in West Jordan or Salt Lake (I’ve been in both courts) you better make sure [Weekes Law] is on your side. If he’s on the other side – look out!

Benefits of Creating a Trust Online

An online trust provides numerous advantages for those looking to streamline their estate planning process, including:

  • Avoid Probate: A trust allows your assets to bypass the probate process, meaning your beneficiaries can access them more quickly and with fewer legal hurdles.
  • Privacy: Unlike a will, a trust does not become a public record, allowing for greater privacy regarding your estate.
  • Control Over Distributions: You can specify exactly how and when your beneficiaries will receive their inheritance, including setting conditions for distributions over time.
  • Flexibility: A trust can accommodate more complex estate planning needs, such as protecting assets for minor children, planning for incapacity, or safeguarding assets for special needs beneficiaries.
  • Tax Advantages: Depending on the type of trust, you may be able to minimize estate taxes, helping to preserve more of your assets for your beneficiaries.
 
Whether you want to avoid probate, protect your privacy, or ensure that your beneficiaries receive their inheritance according to your wishes, our online trust maker can help you create a comprehensive estate plan quickly and affordably.
