A trust is an estate-planning tool used primarily to avoid the delays and costs of the probate process.
In California, when a person dies and owns real property over $50,000 and personal property over $150,000, their property is transferred to their heirs through a court-supervised proceeding called "probate" that generally takes at least nine months, or even longer than a year.
A trust is an estate-planning tool used primarily to avoid the delays and costs of the public probate process.
An individual will typically work with an attorney or professional estate planner outside Star One Credit Union, to create a trust agreement.
Upon creating the trust, the individual transfers title of their Credit Union assets to be held under the trust.
