Trust Law  

Lancaster Trust Law Attorneys

Trusts are used as a means of handling an estate's assets, such as leaving a legacy, protecting assets, ensuring minors or incapacitated family members are properly cared for, or as a vehicle to help minimize death taxes and the expenses associated with estate administration. At May, Metzger & Zimmerman, LLP, we have provided competent, experienced assistance to many clients throughout South Central Pennsylvania with estate preservation needs. Contact us today for a consultation.

Our trust law attorneys are ready to help your family with the creation and administration of trusts, including:

• Special needs trust - created to benefit incapacitated family members or minor children, and to preserve eligibility for essential benefits such as Social Security and other government benefits
• Charitable trust - established to benefit a charity or personal cause upon death, and also offers you certain tax advantages
• Charitable remainder trust - assets are donated to a charity, but you continue to receive income and tax benefits during your life
• Irrevocable trust - becomes a gift of assets or property where you relinquish all ownership and control
• Revocable trusts - allows you to terminate the trust at your discretion
