Are There Other Reasons Why the Trust Should Be the Beneficiary of the Policy?

Yes. Besides keeping control of the proceeds, you prevent a possible conservatorship or guardianship if one of your trust beneficiaries is incompetent or a minor when you die. Generally, an insurance company will not pay proceeds directly to an incompetent or minor, insisting instead on court supervision. If your trust is the insurance beneficiary, the trustee will receive the proceeds and provide for this person’s care for as long as needed.

Antonio is great. I work in a related industry, but my wife does not. He sat down with us and helped to get our estate in order by walking us through the trust process. My wife was very happy we took the time to protect our family and to get this crucial step in life accomplished. Thanks again!

I have just completed my trust work with Mr. Staker and I could not. be happier. I was referred to him by a prominent San Fernando Vally commercial realtor so I had high hopes when I met with him and I was not disappointed. Now I am insisting that my children go to him to make certain that their trusts are in order. Joan Riley
