The first month of the year is a great time for South Carolina residents and others to get their lives in order. For example, it can be a great time to create a savings account or finally get serious about meeting fitness goals. It can also be a great time to get serious about creating an estate plan. Ideally, a plan will include a will that dictates where assets go after a person dies.

Using multiple trusts in estate planning
When people in South Carolina think about planning for the future, they may wonder about the opportunities provided by instruments like trusts, which can be flexible and offer additional control. In addition to a will, many people opt to create trusts, especially if they want to pass property to minor relatives or otherwise direct a more complex distribution that may be possible in a will. After a trust has been established, people may wonder if they can make a second or additional trust.
