Why Setting Up a Trust Should Be a Priority: Addressing Common Concerns About Time and Cost with Kaminski Law Group
At Kaminski Law Group, we often hear from individuals who know they need to establish a trust but find themselves delaying the process due to two main concerns: time and cost. Life gets busy, and estate planning can easily slip down the list of priorities. Additionally, the upfront cost of creating a trust can feel like a significant hurdle, especially when the financial situation seems relatively simple—perhaps just one home, a modest investment portfolio, and adult children.
These are valid concerns, but it’s important to understand why setting up a trust is a crucial step that should not be postponed.
Why a Trust with Kaminski Law Group is Worth the Investment
- Long-Term Savings: It’s tempting to consider lower-cost options for setting up a trust, but not all trusts are created equal. Many of these less expensive options might not include assistance with funding the trust, a critical step in ensuring it actually works as intended. Without proper funding, a trust is like a beautiful pen without ink—it might look good on paper, but it won’t prevent the need for probate, leaving your loved ones to navigate a potentially costly and time-consuming court process. At Kaminski Law Group, we ensure that your trust is fully funded and effective, protecting you from these pitfalls.
- Customized Solutions, Not Generic Documents: Lower-cost trusts are often generic and may not be tailored to your specific needs. These boilerplate trusts, such as standard A/B trusts, might seem adequate but can actually lead to higher costs for your estate after you pass away. At Kaminski Law Group, we create personalized trusts that reflect your unique circumstances and goals, ensuring that your assets are protected and distributed according to your wishes.

- Protecting Your Children’s Inheritance: One of the key benefits of a trust is the ability to safeguard your children’s inheritance from risks like divorce or creditors. A trust crafted by Kaminski Law Group can include provisions to ensure that your hard-earned assets stay within your family, even after you’re gone.
