Living Trust

The Capital Tax™ Approach

At Capital Tax, we understand that estate planning can be complex and daunting. That’s why we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our team of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) offers specialized living trust tax services designed to protect your assets and ensure your wishes are carried out effectively in the most effective tax manner.
 
Why Choose a Living Trust?
​
A living trust is a powerful estate planning tool that allows you to manage your assets during your lifetime and seamlessly transfer them to your beneficiaries upon your passing. Here’s why a living trust might be right for you:
​

  • Avoid Probate: Assets held in a living trust bypass the lengthy and costly probate process, ensuring a smoother transfer to your heirs.

  • Maintain Privacy: Unlike a will, a living trust is not a matter of public record, helping to keep your estate details private.

  • Flexible Control: You retain control over your assets during your lifetime and can amend or revoke the trust as needed.

  • Incapacity Planning: If you become incapacitated, your appointed successor trustee can manage your assets without court intervention.
