Trust Funding & Asset Titling
A trust only works when it is properly funded. Your home, bank accounts, land, business interests, and investments must all be titled and transferred correctly—otherwise your estate risks going through probate, facing delays, or ending up in the wrong hands. Trust funding and asset titling ensure that everything you have built is protected, managed smoothly, and passed on according to your exact wishes.
Why Trust Funding Matters
When assets are not titled correctly, your trust cannot do its job. This is one of the most common—and costly—mistakes families make. Without a proper titling strategy:
-
Assets may default to probate
-
Beneficiary designations may override your intentions
-
Family members may dispute ownership
-
Taxes and delays can increase significantly
-
Heirs may face financial pressure due to frozen accounts
Trust funding ensures clarity, control, and protection. It safeguards your estate from unnecessary legal battles and gives your family confidence that everything is handled.
