Mesothelioma Victims Center Shares a CNN Money Magazine Article on Trusts That Should Be Viewed by All Diagnosed Victims and Their Family As A Must Read

(PRWEB) April 29, 2014

The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Trusts are not just for rich people. This week we are focusing on educating victims on how incredibly vital of a tool they can be when it comes to protecting their estate, ensuring the least amount of taxes, and guaranteeing the estate gets settled in an amicable way." 

The Mesothelioma Victims Center recently discovered an incredibly important lesson on the topic of Trusts from Money Magazine that is relevant to any diagnosed victim of mesothelioma, or their family members, and they call it a must read. This information is titled Money Magazine Lesson 101--Trusts:

"The truth is a trust may be a useful estate-planning tool for a individual if they have a net worth of at least $100,000 and meet one of the following conditions: 

   •  A sizable amount of all assets should be in real estate, a business, or an art collection 
   •  Leave an estate to a heir(s) in a way that is not directly and immediately payable to them upon death. For example, stipulate that they receive their inheritance in three parts, or upon certain conditions being met, such as graduating from college
   •  Support the surviving spouse, but also make sure to ensure that the principal or remainder of the estate goes to a chosen heir(s) (e.g., children from a first marriage) after the spouse dies. 

According to the article, "Among the chief advantages of trusts, is that they let you put conditions on how and when your assets are distributed after you die, as well as reduce estate and gift taxes. A trust also allows you to distribute assets to heirs efficiently without the cost, delay and publicity of probate court when a probate can cost between 5% to 7% of your estate."

The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "The extremely skilled mesothelioma attorneys we suggest are experts at guiding families of a victim on how to go about a trust. We want victims to know that these are the top mesothelioma compensation settlement attorneys in the nation, and mesothelioma compensation is all they do."
