In order to avoid the time and expense of probate, a Living Trust must be properly funded: all assets must be properly placed under the umbrella of your Living Trust. At the time you signed your Living Trust we assisted you in placing all of your assets under the umbrella of your Living Trust. As time passes, clients acquire new property, open new accounts, rollover 401(k)’s into IRA accounts, purchase life insurance and each time they do so, they need to make sure these new assets are properly placed under the Umbrella of their trust.
Clients of DROBNY LAW OFFICES, INC. are entitle to have DROBNY LAW OFFICES, INC. assist them in the ongoing funding of their trusts for no additional fee beyond the flat fee they paid for their Estate Plan.
