May 19th Webinar: Revocable vs. Irrevocable Trusts — What’s the Difference?

Presented by Associate Attorney Tressa Hamilton

When it comes to estate planning, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Do I need a revocable trust or an irrevocable trust?”

The answer isn’t always straightforward and choosing the wrong one (or misunderstanding how they work) can have serious consequences for your family, your assets, and your future planning.

In this webinar, Associate Attorney Tressa Hamilton breaks down the key differences between revocable and irrevocable trusts in a clear way. We’ll walk through how each type of trust works, what control you keep (or give up), and how they’re used in real-life situations. You’ll learn when a revocable trust may be the right fit for avoiding probate and maintaining flexibility and when an irrevocable trust may be necessary for protecting assets, qualifying for Medicaid, or planning ahead for long-term care.

We’ll also cover common misconceptions, the biggest mistakes people make when setting up trusts, and how these tools fit into a well-rounded estate plan alongside wills and powers of attorney.

If you’ve heard of trusts but aren’t sure which type makes sense for your situation, or want to make sure your plan is set up the right way this session will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.

This LIVE webinar is hosted on Zoom. Bring your questions for the Q & A session.
