Understanding Types of Trusts
Trusts are an essential estate planning tool that can help you achieve a variety of goals, from protecting assets to supporting loved ones. Here are some common types of trusts and their benefits:
- Revocable Living Trusts
- Allow you to retain control over your assets during your lifetime.
- Help avoid probate and ensure a smooth transfer of assets to beneficiaries.
- Can be modified or revoked at any time while you’re alive.
- Irrevocable Trusts
- Offer strong protection against creditors and lawsuits.
- Can help minimize estate taxes by removing assets from your taxable estate.
- Once established, terms generally cannot be changed.
- Special Needs Trusts
- Designed to provide financial support to a loved one with disabilities without jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits.
- Managed by a trustee who oversees the use of funds for the beneficiary’s care.
- Charitable Trusts
- Allow you to support causes you care about while reducing estate and income taxes.
- Examples include Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs), which provide income for beneficiaries before donating remaining assets to charity.
- Testamentary Trusts
- Created through your will and activated after your death.
- Provide ongoing financial support to beneficiaries, such as minor children, under specified terms.
Each type of trust serves a unique purpose and can be tailored to fit your specific needs. By working with our knowledgeable Fountain Hills estate planning lawyer, you’ll gain the clarity and confidence to choose the best trust options for your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?
Without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to Arizona’s intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This could lead to family disputes, unnecessary legal costs, and delays in asset distribution.
How often should I update my estate plan?
It’s a good idea to review your estate plan every three to five years or whenever significant life changes occur, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or a major financial event.
Can I change my will after it’s been signed?
Yes, you can update your will through a legal document called a codicil or by creating a new will. It’s important to consult with an attorney to ensure your changes are properly executed and legally binding.

Josh we wanted to take a moment to thank you from the 3 of us from the bottom of our hearts. You are a gift and you have such a gift in what you do and they way you actually do it.
A total class act with the perfect personality for your profession. We can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you and honestly thank so much. And it won’t be the last you see of us. Much Appreciation. The Stine/DiGiovanni family
*We highly recommend Joshua Daly for Elder Law, wills, etc. This is something that people don’t know what can happen when your parents pass away or what to do. Josh helps prevent as much as you legally can the home and assets being taken by elder care home and/or govt.
What a great experience on a subject people don’t like to talk about but is so important. Josh makes this process pleasant. We are recommending Josh to all our friend and family and friends. Everyone should get their ducks in a row. I am glad we met Josh & finally did this!
Thank you Josh
