Trusts

A Trust is a mechanism that, like a Will, can be used to make it known exactly who is to inherit from you at your death. Unlike a Will, however, a Trust does not have to be probated. It enables you to put conditions on how certain assets are to be distributed at your death. It can also provide a very specific plan as to how your assets are to be used to care for you, your spouse, and/or your children (including minor children) should you become incapacitated.  As a parent, Trusts are critical insofar as management of money for children not yet old enough to inherit outright. And perhaps best of all, a Trust can allow for your estate to skip probate entirely

NOTICE

Beginning February 21, 2024, I will be beginning the process of closing my law practice to join First Security Bank's Trust Department at their Mountain Home location. From that date forth, I will no longer be accepting new clients or providing existing clients with any ongoing legal counsel. Please know that you may locate another attorney of your choosing by going to www.arkbar.com.

If you are a past estate planning client and would like photocopies of your original documents (the originals should be in your possession and/or control), please contact me as soon as is reasonably practical to make those arrangements. Best methods to contact me are listed below in order of preference:

1. travis@fordlawfirmmh.com

2. Text 870-405-5245

3. Call 870-405-5245

4. Call 870-424-6337

Although it has been a pleasure practicing law for the last 25 years, I am eager to transfer my estate planning experience to estate administration by serving as a trust officer at First Security Bank. If you find yourself looking for a trustee, I hope you will consider me.

Should you have any questions regarding the above, please know I stand available.

Sincerely,

Travis W. Ford
