how hard is it to setup w/out a lawyer

 

kinda stupid to do if its a substantial amount. you can usually hire a legal professional for cheaper.

 

lawyers cost a lot

 

I have a trust fund :happysad: h:

 

legal professionals, like law students that havent taken the bar, are cheaper.

 

what the heck is a trust fund?

 

A trust is an arrangement bound by law in which someone gives a trustor control of investments, property, cash, or other assets to be managed for the benefit of the beneficiaries. e.g., A trust fund.

 

Not too hard... shitlot easier than wills. I know you can pick up some do-it-yourself books from Borders, etc.

 

wills are easy.. u jus write it up and get it notarized

 

Better idea than do-it-yourself - approach a bank. Banks often will absorb the initial setup cost because the fees they collect over the longterm will eventually pay that off and then some - but they know ALL the loopholes, and are experienced investors. At least, that's what my great aunt did when she set up like 10 trusts.
