Does a will become invalid if the residence changes states?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
It will not become invalid because of a move, but you may want to see how Florida law will interpret what you have written in your Maryland will to make sure what you have specified will take place.

I have a trust but would like to make some changes, can this be done?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It's actually up to the trust agreement that you signed to begin with. But you can always take the trust to a new attorney to ask about changes to be made.

Testamentary Charitable Remainder Unit Trust

C. Randolph Coleman
Answered by attorney C. Randolph Coleman (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Coleman Law Firm, PLLC
Yes, a named charity who is a beneficiary of the CRT can be the trustee after your death. There are many additional issues that you may want to consider with regard to a charitable remainder trust. I suggest that you consider consulting with an estate planning attorney who is experienced with charitable remainder trusts to determine whether any of those additional issues that might be applicable to your circumstances. For instance, if you have highly appreciated assets, contributing those assets to a CRT during your lifetime can result in the trust having the ability to sell the highly appreciated assets without incurring capital gaines taxes on the gain, which leaves all of the asset value available to increase the amount of income you can receive from the CRT during your lifetime (and your spouse's lifetime if appropraite) compared to just selling the assets outright. In addition, you receive a charitable contribution deduction for the lifetime transfer to the CRT. You can be the trustee of the CRT during your lifetime so that you can manage the investments in the CRT. Then at the passing of you and your spouse, you can provide for a second level of income beneficiaries (up to 20 years), before the assets are turned over to the charities named in the trust. That is just one example of the benefits of a CRT. Good luck with your planning.
