What Are The Benefits Of Setting Up a Trust For a Minor?

A trust provides security for your child or another minor. But what steps should you take to ensure that money will be properly handled after your death? James P. Peterson Attorney at Law, can sit down with you and determine what steps to take to protect that money from creditors.

What Is a Lady Bird Deed?

Only used in a few states, a lady bird deed in Texas allows an individual to transfer their home at death to someone without a will or probate.
