I hired Jerry Taylor as my trust attorney to help me set up a revocable living trust for my family. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He explained the process and the benefits of a trust in a clear and understandable way. He also prepared all the necessary documents and guided me through the signing and funding of the trust. He answered all my questions and addressed any concerns I had along the way. He was always responsive and available whenever I needed him. I am very satisfied with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trust attorney.

My husband and I recently moved to Alabama and felt the need to update our wills to be compliant with Alabama estate laws. We hired a local attorney to do our wills only to find out, after the fact, that without a trust our house would have to go through probate, a process that could take over a year. After reading some great reviews on Jerry Taylor and then meeting with him, we made the decision to let him redo our wills and create a trust. Because estate planning is Jerry’s field of expertise, he made the process a breeze. Not only is Jerry a true professional and extremely detail oriented (we couldn’t find a single typo in ANY of our documents), he is also very personable and working with him was an absolute delight. After leaving his office with our new trust/will, we both felt such a peace that our estate, when we pass, would be handled precisely the way we intended and very straightforward for our trustee to manage.

Understanding the Three P’s of Estate Planning
1 – People – Who are the Important People in your life?
Beginning with yourself, they also likely include your loved ones: your spouse if you are married, children and grandchildren if you have any, perhaps your parents, siblings or other relatives. Beyond these, however, “Important People” also could include charities, special causes, colleges or universities, or churches to which you are committed. For some, “Important People” could even include pets. Spend some time thinking about the impact others have had on your life. Make a list and jot notes if you like. This is where the planning process truly begins.

2 – Property

By Property we mean your assets in general. Make a list of the assets you own or control. At this point, you do not need to identify insurance policy numbers and exact dollar values. Rather think through your assets in terms of their nature (cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.); their value in thousands of dollars; and your ownership interest: Do you own assets in your name only, in joint tenancy with someone else, or through a trust agreement or some other arrangement? Be sure to include often-overlooked assets like life insurance (the death benefit, not the cash value), business interests, and any inheritance you may expect to receive.

3 – Plans

After identifying the Important People in your life and your Property, the next step is to consider the plans you would make for those people (including yourself) and that Property in the event of your own incapacity or death. Who would you name to make decisions for you if you could no longer do so yourself? Would the same person handle your finances and your personal and health care decisions? Who would care for your minor children? How would you distribute your assets to your heirs? Would you prefer to spare your heirs the potential cost and hassles of the probate process? Would you like to minimize the impact of estate taxes … or maximize the impact of a charitable bequest? Is there someone in your family with special needs for whom you would like to provide? Is there someone who perhaps should not receive a great deal of (or any) money without some outside oversight? These are just a few of the issues to consider when approaching the planning process. They are much more important than the “treasure hunt” for legal documents at this stage.
