Las Vegas Wills And Trusts Lawyers

Last updated on December 23, 2025

Many people have a difficult time confronting issues such as what will happen after their death. Dying without a will or trust means that the state will have the authority to divide your property according to intestate succession laws. Proper planning now can bring you peace of mind that your estate will be distributed the way you want upon your death.

Why Do You Need A Will?

If you die without a will or estate plan, it is called dying intestate and state law will decide how your estate is administered. With a will, you can make these crucial decisions yourself and choose which beneficiaries will receive specific assets. If you don’t have a will, it can increase the odds of estate disputes and could mean that your family pays more in taxes.

Why Do You Need A Trust?

Trusts can be used for several reasons. One is to reduce the value of your estate, as the trust can take over as the owner of specific assets. Another reason is to give you more control over how trust assets are used. You could create an incentive trust preventing a beneficiary from accessing their inheritance until they graduate from college, encouraging them to prioritize their education. A special needs trust supports the beneficiary without disqualifying them from government benefits.

What Kind Of Trusts Can Our Attorneys Handle?

We can help with a wide variety of trusts, including:

• Revocable trust: Allows you to manage assets and make changes or revoke the trust during your lifetime
• Irrevocable trust: Generally unchangeable once established, provides asset protection, minimizes taxes and safeguards wealth from creditors
• ILIT (Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust): Holds life insurance policies outside your taxable estate, ensuring proceeds pass to beneficiaries tax-efficiently
• FLIP (family limited partnerships): Helps families retain control over business interests, pool assets strategically and reduce estate taxes
• Qualified personal residence trust (QPRT): Removes a family home or other property from the estate, reducing gift and estate taxes while allowing continued residence for a set period
• Self-settled spendthrift trust (SSST): Enables asset protection by allowing the creator to be a beneficiary while restricting access to creditors, commonly used in wealth preservation and estate planning

We can also help with special needs trusts and much more.
