    After my dad died and my mom had a little Money. I told her mom go out and buy yourself some new furniture . Buy a nice washer and dryer. Go to bingo everyday if you want to. My mom scrimped and saved all her life because we were poor. When it was my birthday I honored my mother because she carried me for 9 months and gave me life. When she died I was devastated. She left a couple thousand dollars to me and I couldn't even spend it. I kept thinking about the time she could have used it when I was a little kid. But she did go out and treat herself to New furniture and did spend most of it. She had a stroke and I was there every day. I didn't even think about my job. I thought how many times she sacrificed for us. Please be good to your parents. They gave you life.

      I know how you feel. My mom lived with us the last 17 years of her life. When she got sick i didn’t hesitate to care for her. I was honored to see the woman brought me into the world out of this world. My brother who did nothing in the last 17 years for her. When she needed new tires i informed him she didn’t have the money….crickets. My husband I cover 60% (all we could afford). Over the years i provided for her as she provided for me growing up and a few times as an adult. Do you know he took 1/2 her insurance after burial expenses, but he did let me keep all funds from the sale of her car ($3000 after my expenses waiting for probate). Wasn’t super nice of him? Forgot to mention her insurance was only $25,000 after expenses. I’m feel greedy, but if the roles were reversed I wouldn’t taken half, if any at all.

      Yup. Don’t get a will. I’m going through this with my now deceased father. I just pulled out because I’m pretty fiancial stable and my dad had all this debt. That the probate lawyer told me it’s not really worth paying all this money for very little return. I respectfully dropped her services and my narcissistic brother can have the few thousand that will be left over from our father’s estate. To me it’s not worth it. It was a horrible basic will.

    My dad passed away last December. He mentioned he wanted to go get a living trust done, but unfortunately he got sick and passed away before he had a chance. We are still in probate court and it's been a nightmare, not to mention expensive! We have been paying on his house for almost a year and just received the right to sell it from the courts.

    Excellent information, our family is fractured now because of a will that was changed days before dad died. Resentment, envie, and greed motivated a couple siblings to prey on his despair and get him to change his will. My wife and I will set up a trust for ourselves so our heirs don't end up going through what we experienced. It is beyond my comprehension why siblings plot to hurt one another, but the love of money does funny things to people.

      Don't do it. It only benefits the attorneys. Almost 70 percent of living trusts are never funded. Meaning the trust is like a shopping cart and your assets are like the products you put in a cart. Everytime you buy an asset, or sell an asset, guess what..the estate planning attorney or CPA will charge you to update the trust and it is not cheap. Furthermore, if you try to say get a mortgage but your securities at a brokerage are held in the trust you will have to get a notarized ($$$) copy of the trust not just show them your statement from your brokerage.

      @@ksmith2852 Thank you for voicing your opinion. I disagree, but get where you are coming from. Lawyers make billions (with a "B") from probate fees. According to studies, including AARP, the average costs of transferring assets via probate are in the 15-20% range. There are also things like financial & health matters during your lifetime - both of which are also addressed in a living trust. Even unfunded, a living trust is better than a will as there is still a pour-over will included in a living trust that dumps everything into the trust. What it eliminates is public disclosure of what is going to whom as well as the litigation between beneficiaries. Too much here for a simple response, but suffice it to say, I disagree.

    Toby, been watching you for years and learned a lot. But this is probably one of the best videos so thanks for some of the suggestions! My mom's one asset was a house that was purchased in 1977 for $40k but sold for $1.1m (California) when she passed last year with the proceeds sitting in a specialized account until distributions are made. She had Alzheimers but she passed peacefully in her home as outlined in her AHCD which was part of the set of legal documents she had set up in her living trust. As the trustee of her estate, I am witnessing firsthand the grief and greed that you so aptly described. The beneficiaries are pulling out the stops. One beneficiary asked for their distribution immediately after mom passed, another contested the trust, and the last has filed a petition to have me removed claiming I had undue influence over her when she named me the trustee. But the trust was set up in 1979 (updated every 10 years with me named as the successor trustee every single time) when she was of sound mind so the net effect is that legal fees can still drain the trust by belligerent beneficiaries. Yes, those legal fees will eventually be recouped at their expense. It's stupid though. My mom would be mortified if she knew what was happening.

And yes I got accused of influencing, but the funny thing was when we had asked the greedy beneficiaries to help me as trustee to take care of the person so they had an idea of what was going on and could be paid a wage from the estate (and end up getting more money in the end than the others because they were being paid out of the same pot), not a one would step up. They wanted the money without the work. LOL...greedy, lazy and stupid...just unbelievable. Take care of yourself.

    Just went through probate of my dad’s estate. He just had a Will and left me everything. He should of done a Living Trust. Probate was a nightmare.

    • @RG-hf4et
      @RG-hf4et 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The problem is people are not educated in living trusts. I was familiar with them. I talked to my sister who is the executor of my dad's will & then we both talked to our 91 year old dad about setting up a trust. We explained it would make everything flow easier in the future. Everything would be organized & easy. When our mom passed, it was a lot of paperwork, phone calls, transferring everything everything to our dad, etc.....He saw what a hassle that was & that is why he agreed to do the trust.

      My dad always said he had a trust, (even mentioned it the month or so before he died but I dismissed it as confusion.) He even mentioned how glad he was that he left everything to me (just hours before he died.) I really thought he was just sharing a nice sentiment and I was grateful for his fond thoughts, thinking they were memories of an old man of a time that was long gone in his life. I mean, I knew he was living off of his savings for the last 20 years and there was no paperwork. The only thing I found was something that let me know my father became an angel investor of sorts when he first moved to Arizona over 15 years ago. I found nothing at his bank and I am certain my brother is searching and hiring lawyers due to his attempts at causing the family nightmare. My dad always mentioned since the 80s that everything should be in a trust. Thing is, he never told anyone where, how, under what name and there is no documentation to be found. Still I am very grateful to find this video and read the comments. I look forward to planning my own living will and will seek appropriate life insurance. Great video!! Again, thank you for the safe place to share these thoughts.

    Sir, you are a BLESSING!!!
    My wife and I have been praying, and we have a Prayer Circle on our Ranch that we go to 2 to 7 times a day. I went there this early morning to beat this intense extreme hot(106°) weather. I watered, planted, arranged, and walked the circle praying for answers...I GOT IT, THROUGH YOU!!
    I came inside to shower and nap, then I pulled up my TH-cam, and your/this video popped up and stood out to me...at 1st, I was like, hmmmm, no likes, but tons of positive feedback and comments. I played it loud as I sat to eat lunch, so my wife could hear it too. We were at PEACE and CALMNESS came over us. Your genuine servitude, professionalism, transparency, and love for TRUTH is very evident, sir, and for that, I thank you, man to man.
    We have a 18 acres Ranch in the Texas Hill Country, built a 2 story Barndominium, and have a 2 acres stocked pond, plus 4 German Shepherds, 120 chickens and roosters, 17 ducks, and multiple raised Vegetable Beds.
    My mom and her brother STOLE my INHERITANCE that my dad left for my sister and I when we were 5yrs and 4yrs old, he was a 2 time Purple Heart medal recipient, and he loved us, I REMEMBER!! Long story short, he left everything to us in his WILL, but somehow, my mom assumed the role to dole out my sister and my FORTUNE, and USE it on herself and her new husband who physically abused and beat me naked on drugs listening to demonic music. Then my grandfather who took me under his wings, left me his fortune too, because I was 1st born, and I helped him clean up his rental properties and small lots around town, as my sisters and cousins MOCKED and LAUGHED at me because they saw HARD WORK and NO PLAY on the weekends A LOT. Fast Forward, my grandfather came down with Alzheimers, but before he lost his senses, he PROMISED me that he was leaving it ALL to me. Once he died, they buried him immediately, and TOTALLY SHUT me OUT, and Never Answered the phone and said that I wasn't allowed to come to their Mc Mansions. I was confused, angry, lost, and CRUSHED, because didn't know what was happening....NOW I DO!!!lol THANK YOU!!!
    What can we do to work with you on our LIVING WILL?🙏🏽
    Father God Almighty, please continue to bless this humble giving gentleman who is freely giving crucial information and explanations from his BIG HEART. We pray he will experience a hundred, thousand fold increase in his business opportunities and clients, in Christ Jesus name, amen🙏🏽🤴🏼🙌🏽

    In California if your estate is over a certain amount they take something like 58% for probate. My best friend growing up lost Millions before they got done because his parents refused to put anything in a trust because they thought somebody would steal the trust from them and other silly rumors. They have four houses and a total of six million dollars in the estate. There was only him and his brother the brother who was causing all kinds of trouble. They had two boats but his brother wanted both boats stuff like that. Before probate was done a 6.5 million dollar estate dwindled down to 1.2 million each for the brothers. You better get a trust combined with a will.

      He only presented a very basic positive side of Trusts. He is a salesman. There is a huge dark side of Living Trusts. Do your research from sources who do not make money from you opening a Living Trust, funding and changing the trust, and administering it when you die. The last cost is hidden; you are dead so you can't complain about the charges and the beneficiaries don't know any better and have no recourse other than sue.

  • @whar2010

    My concern is the fact that anything included in the trust becomes an asset to any of the persons listed in the trust and therefore becomes subject to legal actions, should any of the listed folks get in trouble (auto accident, etc) and the court rules they are responsible for payment. So in short, everything listed in the trust could be lost before you are deceased or before anyone can take ownership in the event of your death. In theory you could be kicked out of your house and loose it if one of your kids have a legal liability issue. Not a risk most people would consider if they give it any real thought….

      Please keep talking until Mr. Mathis advances his career to a NICER approved Forgery Proof Legalese Administration Lawyer to defend the easy to forge legal documents with a 33-year reformed Financial Elder Abuse Defense Administration Network.

      3. Costs to manage the trust
      4. If it is you and your spouse, what happens when one dies. (I already know...and it is bad)

    I was told you need a will and a revocable trust.
    What gets me is why does it cost thousands of $$$ when all the lawyer does is enter a few details and prints off the boiler plate trust and will.
    It is all boiler plate stuff done within minutes.
    Granted, it does require some expertise to know what to do.
    Being an estate attorney has gotta be a cool gig.

    TY for this video...YES! THe Lawyers and the Laws are in it To Win It!
    In my family we have seen 2 generations of wills, litigations and LOSS! All 18 grandchildren could have been sent to college and had down payments on homes and vehicles with what was lost in that the first generation...instead they got nothing...but the lawyers made 🏦 BANK! The second generation the legal representative squandered the assets of the estate, and when taken to court for what was left the lawyers again made bank leaving a mere pittance for the heirs of what was a beautiful estate.😢YES, to a Living Will! The cost of Litigation will finish off most estates..!

      Our greedy trustee forged the Living Trust and ruined the family because our parents hired an easy to forge estate planner instead of a NICER approved forgery proof Administration Lawyer. We're getting the NICER crime free inheritance transfer plan with Notary Index Crime Enforcement Regulators and Sheriffs om-call to arrest anyone who tampers with an administration lawyer's permission Validated and Registry Certified Interdiction Trust.

    I wish I had seen this when it was first published. My Life Partner passed in March of this year without a Will or anything else. We did talk about a "Life Trust" (that's what he called it) but he never got a chance to complete one. Now I am living in a nightmare, fighting with distant cousins who want to evict me from my own home, even though I have offered to buy it from them! I'm in Oregon and we were never legally married. Fifteen years together building his legacy and I have nothing.

    • @Flipper86

      My family experienced the opposite. My grandpa married for the 3rd time in his 80’s. They both came to the marriage with assets and signed agreements to contribute $ for daily living, but that the rest of their assets would remain separate. When my grandfather died, his wife’s kids asked permission to take “a few household items” as she was going to live with one of her kids. My dad was the executor and he agreed. He then arranged for extended family members and grandpa’s step daughter to meet us at the house to help us sort through the household goods according to which of his wives had owned them. Also, at the funeral, I put a set of cups in with the cream/sugar collection from his previous wife. When we arrived at the house, we found his current spouse’s adult children had stripped all of the antiques and valuables (including the cups) - not “a few housekeeping items.” The antique glass, sewing machine, radio, and many more items were gone. It was sad, as the items had sentimental as well as monetary value. We don’t think his spouse even knew her kids did this, as she was also elderly and blind. My dad chose not to contact the police, but he probably should have (might not have done any good because it would have been hard to prove what was missing and/or that his spouse didn’t have the right to the items).

    It seems very difficult for Attorneys to offer advice that impacts on their chosen profession without incurring explicit arguments that seek to limit what is being offered. But how do we, the public, know who to trust? Not unlike the points of view in current dialogue about the origin of Covid. I guess we all just have to say thank you to people like Toby Mathis for giving us something to consider and try to educate ourselves about. My plan is to live forever, so far, so good.

  • @beninformato9040
    @beninformato9040 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Toby : Great content. Question - If you do a legacy plan living trust, like the example you mentioned about providing money from the trust for your beneficiaries to travel, does the trust executor become a manager of the trust for years to come until all assets are fully dispersed? Let's say you have $100K in cash in your bank under the trust, and you put a clause that allows partial dispersement of that cash to your children if they travel. So let's say your son decides to travel for two weeks every year on vacation, and it takes him 10 years to spend down that money on travel expenses. That seems like a lot of work for a lot of years for the trust executor. How does a legacy trust work so it doesn't become a burden for the trust executor?

    • @TobyMathis
      @TobyMathis  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In the case of a dynasty trust usually, the individual, group, or entity that is managing the trust is paid for that service. It tends to be a small percentage amount of the trust to ensure the trust funds are handled appropriately and are able to be distributed according to your wishes as documented in the trust.

    My question is, person receiving a real estate as gift or inherents real estate from living trust, 1is there tax differences between the above mentioned. ( state of MD) 2. Does the trustee pays taxes from the trust?

    • @TobyMathis
      @TobyMathis  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There are no differences on the tax treatment of the real estate. The trustee would be in charge of making payments for certain taxes as well as income the trust generates unless all income is distributed.
