I don't have a recommendation for you as to who to do it but do want to strongly recommend getting someone good. having gone through my mother's passing some years ago (she had a living trust) and recently my wife's mother passing and the management of her father's living trust, I can say that the wording in the trust is very critical to what befalls the successor trustee and the dispersement of your estate. Don't use boilerplate trusts. Go over every line and statement in it and try to thoroughly understand the meaning of them. The legalese cost us $500 an hour for a very good estate/trust attorney to explain the subtleties of their trust and how the trust attorney that wrote it didn't do a very good job.

Spend a little more and get a good attorney.

i wouldn't mind hearing some input on this one. i've thought about the same thing myself just have never taken the time to look into it.

I don't have any recommendations for someone in Vegas, since I don't live there, but if anyone in So. Cal needs a Trust Attorney I've got the name for you. My trust attorney setup mine and he is one of like 15 trust attorneys in CA that the CA Bar Association endorses as someone who knows WTF it is he is doing. My trust cost me $1500, but it was well worth it. Plus for all you TC guys, he is located in NB.

Another thing to consider, given some recent events, is an Advanced Health Directive. Decide on your own what you want to done with repect to life support, it makes it so much easier on your family.

I use John E. Dawson ... he used to be with Marquis and Aurbach, but recently moved to Lionel Sawyer & Collins -- 1700 Bank of America Plaza, 300 South Fourth Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101 Phone: 702 383-8888.

Very knowledgeable, reasonable rates, and will meet with you for an hour or so to set up exactly what you want and need in the context of NV and Federal laws. He also requires an ongoing relationship to keep up with your will(s), trust(s), and etc. as the laws change -- latter is free of charge.

I had him set up wills, disposing of personal property, a family trust, directive to physicians, durable poser of attorney for asset management and health care decisions, nomination of guardians, burial instructions, and ongoing asset transfer into the trust for taxation protection (i.e., anything worth over 100k, home, rental properties, boat, etc.).

Total package cost about $1500. With the state and federal laws these days, if you own anything or have any directions post death, you really need all this.

Give him a call and let him know that I referred you if you like ... Tom Sharpe ... hope this is helpful.

Thanks Tom, I will give him a call.

Another one for you is Patrica (Patty ) Trent. I think Patty does the legal work and her associate (CAN'T REMEBER HER NAME ) does the living wills. Very good people...

Their office is on Flamingo right next to Sean Patrick's (PUB ) which is actually named after her son Sean.

Did you ever find one? I work with a local guy who I've sent half of my clients to who is awesome!

[BADAXE]

Outcoled, Thanks for asking the question. I too am looking for a good lawyer for the same purpose.

What counts as "the shaft"?

You can do it online at a place like legal zoom - that works for simple cases but still costs a few hundred bucks.

We got the whole thing - ab trust, living will, including durable poa for healthcare (no terri schiavo here! but just in case) for a bit over $1,200. I can't speak for what he charges in each situation but that's pretty reasonable and money well spent - plus he knows what he's doing and walked the wife through the whole thing line by line almost so she understood what would happen "if" type thing. We even set up a schedule so if we both get knocked off the kids get the $ in trust in increments vs. all at once - plus we spelled out who gets to keep 'em (poor souls our parents are!http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I'm going to put my new boat in the trust when I get one http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rollinglaugh.gif
