Truth About the Living Trust - Hardcover

by Gregory P. Hawkins (Author)

Think any Living Trust will protect your family? Think again.

Many books and guides explain what a trust is, but few address a critical truth: a trust is a legal document whose words can make or break your family's future.

- How to avoid common drafting pitfalls
