REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST:
A necessity for anyone, no matter their wealth or age, who wants to pass on their property efficiently, privately, and at a lesser cost than through probate. Goosmann Trust Law Counsel works with clients to create and personalize their Revocable Living Trust.
IRREVOCABLE LIFE INSURANCE TRUST:
Also known as an ILIT, the Life Insurance Trust has the advantage of providing the life insurance proceeds to your family while keeping the money out of your estate, and thus away from the federal estate tax.
FARM TRUST:
These specially crafted instruments allow you to keep the farm in the family until a time of your choosing rather than selling and dividing the property as dictated by inheritance and taxes.

Ensure that your loved ones with special needs are provided for while also making sure they qualify for applicable government benefits.
