Identity Theft of Deceased Elderly

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Identity theft happens this way all of the time !  There are companies that will come to your house or business and shred huge amounts of stuff for a very reasonable price. For example - there is a company called Shred It that will leave you a bin, you put everything in, they come back and shred it for you.  I would recommend shredding everything because a lot of identity theft happens the old fashioned way - by people getting credit card statements or social security numbers through the trash.  Also - many local banks offer days in which you can bring paper to be shredded.  good luck !

Estate planning

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
It depends on the purpose of the trust.  Any kind of asset protection requires and irrevocable trust.  But be careful, irrevocable means irrevocable, and if you change your mind, or the circumstances change, too bad.  An irrevocable trust is like a third person, it has its own social security number, pays taxes, and has a list of people who control it.  A trust is simply the list of instructions used to determine how and when the assets in the trust can be used.  The trust can hold all of the items you listed, the deed to a house, and two bank accounts.  The trust can also be the recipient of funds from a will, but does not include the will.
