You want to make sure your protection in your estate plan is complete and it’s engineered with extreme conditions in mind. Yet many people have wills and trust with safety features that expire when the beneficiaries at a certain age.

In this episode, Jim McGovern talks with Jerry Wegley, an attorney with KnoxLaw about why dynasty trusts should be the centerpiece of a family estate plan. He explains where some of the traditional approaches to estate planning fall short and assets may be unnecessarily exposed to creditors, divorcing spouses, transfer taxes and other issues.

Jerry discusses:

• The misconceptions with trusts
  
• How trusts have evolved over the last 20 years
  
• The specifics of creating a trust and the rules each position is to follow
  
• Why efficient tax planning is built into a dynasty trust
  
• And more
