Most people don't know how to create trust on their own. While many people try to learn because they believe it will save them money, it can be a complex process. If you're able to figure it out on your own, you'll likely have spent a significant amount of time learning how to do it. Additionally, it's imperative to make sure that everything is executed correctly so that your wishes are carried out. Many people mistakenly believe that a trust is just a document – it isn't. You will certainly have to draft documents in order to create the trust, but the actual trust is really just a legal relationship where someone handles your assets in a way that benefits you and fulfills your wishes.
