Are there different kinds of trusts?
A. There are many kinds of trusts. The area of trust law is very complex and requires consultation with an attorney in order to enable you to gauge whether a trust is appropriate for your individual circumstances. You do not have to be rich to have a trust, but trusts are not appropriate for everyone. In fact, for many individuals, using estate planning techniques other than creating trusts may actually be more appropriate under their individual circumstances. Consultation with an attorney in this area of law is the key to a successful outcome.
