We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the disadvantage of a living trust?

Since probate may take several months, many people create living trusts as a convenience to their beneficiaries. You should keep in mind that the cost of setting up a living trust is often at least the same as a probate proceeding. (Either a living trust or a simple probate may cost from $500 to $2000.)

What happens to a trust if you get divorced?

An irrevocable trust generally remains intact after a no-fault divorce, as it is a separate legal entity. However, divorce may affect beneficiary rights depending on trust terms and state law. Setting up a separate irrevocable trust for an inheritance is possible to protect those assets independently.

What are the three types of trust?

Trusts can be broadly categorized into four main types: Living Trusts, Testamentary Trusts, Revocable Trusts, and Irrevocable Trusts. There are many different types of trusts you can choose from, and understanding how they are different can help you pick the right one for your needs.

What is a living trust in New Mexico?

A living trust is an estate planning tool that will allow you to transfer your assets directly to your beneficiaries without requiring the property to go through probate.

How does a living trust work in New Mexico?

A New Mexico living trust protects and maintains your assets for your exclusive use during your life and passes them to your beneficiaries after your death. A revocable living trust (inter vivos trust) can be an important part of your estate planning process.

What happens to a living trust when a spouse dies?

If a couple creates a revocable living trust together and one spouse passes away, the surviving spouse continues acting as the trustee during their lifetime. The surviving spouse still has the same power they had before their spouses death to amend the trust or revoke the trust.
