Planning for the Future?

If your 2015 New Year's Resolution is to become more organized about your future financial matters, one step you might want to consider is creating a trust. 

 

A trust is a financial tool established by you (sometimes with the assistance of an attorney) that provides direction of the management of any assets of value you wish to pass on including real estate, cash, stocks, bonds, and more. It's up to you. And that's the key. 

Mike Underwood, Barry Monaghan, Dale Behrends and Roger Underwood work with GCSB Trust Management Services customers to ensure assets in trusts are protected and properly managed.

 

A trust may enable you to reduce estate tax liability, protect your property and assets, help you avoid probate and even produce needed income for you or your beneficiaries. 

 

Once your trust is established,

Guthrie County State Bank can help you manage it to safeguard your property and ensure that it's allocated to your beneficiaries (or a charity) exactly according to your wishes.

 

Need more information? Contact us today and arrange to speak to a representative of our Trust Services Department. And find out how easy it is to keep you in charge of your future estate planning.
