Trusts help you avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide flexibility in distributing assets to beneficiaries. They offer tax advantages, protect assets from creditors, and ensure proper management if you become incapacitated. Different types of trusts serve different purposes, so choosing the right one for your family’s specific needs is important.

FREQUENLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What are the benefits of creating a trust?
2. Should I form a corporation or an LLC?
The choice depends on your business goals and tax situation. LLCs offer operational flexibility and pass-through taxation, while corporations are better for raising capital and significant growth. Your specific circumstances, including liability concerns, tax implications, and future plans, will determine the best entity type for your Virginia business.
3. How can I pay the debt I owe to the IRS?
The IRS offers installment agreements, Offers in Compromise for reduced payments, and hardship status options. It’s important to act quickly as penalties and interest continue growing. A qualified tax attorney at Tavss Fletcher can help you negotiate with the IRS and develop a strategy to resolve your tax debt while protecting your assets.
