Over the past few years, I’ve accumulated a lot of wealth.  This involved some stock purchases I’ve made, and my father had left me with his family business since I am the only child.  I’ve never had to think about these things before, but I’ve started to consider financial planning.  I’ve looked around online a little bit, and I keep seeing information about a living trust.  From what I understand, there are so many good reasons to get one.  There are important tax implications, and it’s a great way to protect wealth.  Also, I just think it is the responsible thing to do.
