Few of us have the millions Leona Helmsley set aside to care for her dog after her death, but that doesn’t mean we can’t set aside some money to make sure our beloved family members are cared for when we are gone. You don’t necessarily have to have money now to set up a trust. You can specify that a certain amount of your life insurance benefit or some other source of income payable to you will be used to fund the trust at a later date. However, making sure your wishes are carried out may not be as easy as it seems.
