Funding a trust can be a time consuming and most times overwhelming process. From understanding the documentation the financial institution needs, filling out the necessary forms or responding to the technical questions that might come your way we find that most all trusts are improperly funded. Let us make sure that the goals you set out to accomplish with estate planning actually happen by letting TrustFunding.com finish the job.
The term “trust fund” is thrown around often, yet most people have misconceptions regarding the process it entails. Unfortunately, moving assets into a trust fund is not as easy as clicking on a button that says “transfer.” Here’s where TrustFunding.com comes in. In this one-minute video, founder of TrustFunding.com, attorney Michael Rutkowski, explains how we can help you secure your financial future, and that of your loved ones. Take the first step and call us today at (248) 987 0400 to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your assets, your goals, and develop a roadmap to turn the latter into reality.
Funding your trust is the process of transferring assets from your personal name into the name of your trust. This can be a very long and tedious process filled with pages and pages of forms. Each asset has its own specific way that ties it to your trust depending on the goals of the trust. Banks, Insurance Companies, Investment advisors and even the US Treasury Department have different rules and forms that need to be completed in order to fully fund your trust.
At TrustFunding.com. we handle the entire process of re-titling your assets; change beneficiary designations; prepare, file and record deeds; and we work directly with your financial institutions to ensure everything is completed and done correctly.
Fully funding your trust is the only way to make sure that your assets avoid probate, have protection and avoid unnecessary State and Federal taxes (if applicable).
Different types of trusts serve different purposes for the important people in your life. Be advised: The trust you choose will not work for you unless important steps are completed to have it funded, and 90% of competing services don’t move your trust strategy past the finish line… Make sure yours counts! Which type of trust do you need funded?
