Maintain your family’s privacy
A properly crafted revocable living trust can help you avoid the probate process and keep your affairs private. Probate proceedings become public records, making your family’s financial information, properties, and wishes accessible to anyone. With a bespoke revocable living trust from Scheer Legal, your private information remains confidential. Trust Scheer Legal to protect your privacy and ensure your wishes are honored discreetly.
Preserve your wealth

Our tailored strategies ensure your assets are protected, taxes minimized, and your legacy secured. With Scheer Legal, rest assured knowing your loved ones are taken care of, today and tomorrow.
Securing your property
Another crucial part of an estate plan is ensuring all your property is accounted for and distributed according to your wishes. From real estate, to tangible assets, to family heirlooms, a comprehensive estate plan from Scheer Legal considers everything. If any assets are accidentally left out, we’ll ensure they are included on the back end, providing complete peace of mind.
Taking care of your family
A critical aspect of estate planning is ensuring your loved ones are cared for when you're no longer able to. An expertly crafted estate plan from Scheer Legal provides peace of mind, knowing that your spouse, children, siblings, parents, or other relatives will be taken care of when the time comes. Trust us to help you create a comprehensive estate plan that secures your family's future and honors your wishes.
What’s the difference between a Will or a Trust?
At Scheer Legal, we understand that choosing between a will and a revocable trust is a critical decision in your estate planning. A will is straightforward and allows you to specify how your assets are distributed after death, but it requires probate, making your estate a matter of public record. In contrast, a revocable trust can help you avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide continuous management of your assets if you become incapacitated. However, it can be more complex and costly to set up initially. We will guide you through the pros and cons of each, ensuring the best choice for your unique situation.
