Trotter and Soulsby are your best lawyers to talk to about a trust. But most folks in the villages need a trust. If you own a house here, you need a trust or a ladybird deed. People think trusts are so expensive to do. Even if it cost you $2000 to set up, it is a lot cheaper than to have to go through probate. Probate will take a minimum of six months to complete. Six months of carrying costs of expenses on the house by itself is more than the cost to set up a trust. Plus there will be court costs. Plus every lawyer to handle the case if it has to go through probate will charge a very large fee. But Trotter and Soulsby will be able to set up your estate based on your best needs. They are the only certified elder lawyers in the area.
