Reply to JustinDunte's comment What do you recommend

So I made some folks very mad yesterday when I said y'all need to stop listening to internet attorneys who are telling you that you absolutely need a trust. I'm not sure how I, a Wills and trusts attorney, can make people upset about that, but I did. So the questions were, okay, then what do I recommend? Let's get into it. Hey girlies, my name is J.Brya. I'm a full-time attorney and entrepreneur. Full-time fashion girly. So let's get into it. So as I said yesterday, most folks just do not need a trust. At least where there are a lot of other options for ways to avoid probate or to pass things to your beneficiaries. A trust is just not necessarily the way I recommend for most folks. If you're interested in learning more about the folks who do need a trust, please go back and watch that video. But let's talk about what you can do instead of having a trust. So the first thing I suggest if you have a piece of real estate in Texas is something called a transfer on death deed. This is a deed that ensures your house passes outside of probate to your beneficiary or beneficiaries. Two, I suggest having payable on death beneficiaries on all of your financial accounts. Three, I suggest having the VTR. 121 form filled out with the DMV, which allows you to pass your paid off car to your beneficiary outside of probate. And for, I always suggest still having a basic will package with, um, both medical and financial powers of attorney, HIPAA authorization, and the other things that I personally include in my estate plans because you still need those things because the transfer on death deed and the payable on death beneficiaries, they don't answer all of the questions around death and incapacity. And what I'm trying to tell folks is that all of these things I've just named are far less in cost than a trust. But you, I am just a great Wills and trust attorney in Texas. So if you have any questions, ask me in the comments.
