What Does it Mean to Fund a Trust?

January 30, 2025 by Alexander M. Pagnotta, Estate Planning Attorney

It is important to fund your trust. A trust spells out who will be in charge of things if you were to pass away or become incapacitated. While beneficiaries are listed in the trust during planning, that doesn't mean you're done with setting up your trust for success. Let's say you look at your brokerage account and see that your name and your son’s name are listed as joint owners. The financial … [Read more...] about What Does it Mean to Fund a Trust?

August 8, 2013 by Sinclair Prosser Gasior

Testimonials

5 Stars

We initiated estate planning following a presentation by Sinclair Prosser Attorney Jon Gasior. We were so impressed, we contracted with them to complete our estate planning. Subsequently, we assembled information on our assets and Sinclair Prosser Gasior did the rest. Correspondence was communicated to our financial institutions and the estate was established. We were very pleased with the courteous manner of the Sinclair Prosser Gasior staff. However, it was their professionalism that made us satisfied we chose this firm to handle our estate. We have nothing but praise for Sinclair Prosser Gasior .
