Why You Can’t Trust Your Trust
The revokable or living trust is the
most oversold and misunderstood
legal product on the market
today! Most people believe that it
shields assets from creditors and
the nursing home. However, in
Minnesota, this is not the case. If you
can change the trust, the nursing
home and creditors can access the
money in the trust. Learn the pros
and cons of a revocable trust so you
can determine if it is a fit for you.
You will also learn other options to
help you secure your assets. Bring
your questions.
