I loved our Living Trust Except for the Banks Part
===============================
Ad:
Do I Need a Lawyer to Make a Living Trust?
No.
Okay, we'll cover our bases and say, "Usually, you
don't need a lawyer to make a living trust."
That's the short answer, anyway. Want to find out
why you can do it yourself, why lawyers will charge
an arm and a leg to make one for you, and -- most
importantly -- what steps you can take to create
your own?
Read on, true believer:

================================
I wrote our Trust using this book - - 2 weeks before he died my Dad paid a Lawyer $1,000's to rewrite it and the Lawyer (Bad Word) it up
Words to watch-out for
"Any Investment A Prudent Person Would Make"
<<Who Is that Prudent Person?>>
Even though I did not want to sell our ranch the Executor => (the Bank) sold it saying the land WAS NOT Prudent and =>
"We are not in the business of handling Land!"
The Trust says I can Invest or Reinvest the money in
"Any Investment A Prudent Person Would Make"
the Executor => (the Bank) says the only Prudent Investment is to <<"invest in their Bank">>
– They charge the Trust $1,000's per year to invest our money in their bank - - after the Fees and Taxes we get about 1% on our investment.
In 8.5 years our Ranch sold for 6 million more than we got for it, and guess who owned it - (3) Bank VIP's
The Bank Charged our Trust $35,000 to print a For Sale Book on the Ranch because "You can't expect us to dive the (25 miles) 50 miles round trip to show it!" :roll:
