Result: A legal binding trust written by a local attorney for nothing.
Having worked contracts and settlements my entire life I fully realize trusts are cookie cutter arrangements for all but a few percent. I expect most will disagree but the truth is your financial matters/wishes are not that unique, only the percentages of distribution and names change.
