Estate Planning

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts + Life Insurance Planning

An Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) and life insurance planning are created to own and control a term or permanent life insurance policy or policies while the insured is alive, as well as to manage and distribute the proceeds that are paid out upon the insured’s death.

Kelleher + Holland, LLC can help you develop these plans and provide you with some peace of mind.

Revocable Living Trusts + Wills

A revocable trust can help keep you and your assets out of a court-supervised guardianship and to allow your beneficiaries to avoid the costs and hassles of probate. Kelleher + Holland, LLC would be happy to assist you in structuring trusts and wills to your benefit.

Retirement Benefit Trusts

Retirement benefit trusts (RBTs) are excellent instruments for planning a stress-free retirement.  If you have significant assets in a qualified retirement account such as an IRA or 401k, then you should consider setting up a special type of revocable living trust that is designed to be the beneficiary of the account after you die.

Rely on Kelleher + Holland, LLC to be a reassuring ally in the creation of these trusts and provide peace of mind.

Charitable Trusts

A charitable trust is made for the benefit of specific charitable purposes. Additionally, charitable trusts are favored by the law. They do not have to have definite beneficiaries because the party who enforces the trust is the attorney general. Also, charitable trusts are not subject to the rule against perpetuities.

Kelleher + Holland, LLC can manage the establishment and administration of these trusts and be your guide through the process.
