Trust attorneys create trusts for their clients to fund. Trust attorneys are tasked with determining the best plan to achieve the goals of the individual, which can range from ensuring a loved one's needs are met after your death or supporting an important charity with your estate. At the time of death, the trust attorney can help with applicable probate processes, or depending on the situation, attempt to avoid probate altogether. Because the types of trusts are so varied, and the goals are so different, the actions that a trust attorney will take almost always vary.
