DENVER TRUST ATTORNEY
3 MAIN TYPES OF TRUSTS
When researching trusts, you may come across 20 or more different types, such as credit shelter trusts, special needs trusts and spendthrift trusts. These classifications more accurately describe the reasons people put them in place, as opposed to what type of trust they are. At Johnson Law Group, we rely on these main classifications:
- Irrevocable Living Trusts: Families in Denver often consider this the riskiest type of trust. The belief stems from the fact that, even if you change your mind afterward, you cannot transfer the assets back to yourself. It completely severs ownership. Clients tend to choose this type of trust when they need to shield assets from lawsuits, creditors and taxes.
- Revocable Living Trusts: Our clients often prefer this trust, because they create it during their lifetimes and have control over it. You generally get to serve as trustee of the trust and can control the assets that move in and out of its ownership. You may also terminate the trust if you later decide it does not serve your needs.
- Testamentary Trusts: Some people prefer not to create the trust before death. This allows them to retain full control over their own assets with no complications. To get around this, they create a solid will that converts personal assets into trust assets after they pass away.

TOP BENEFITS OF TRUSTS
Feasibility is only one aspect of knowing whether a trust complements your estate plan. The next step is figuring out what the benefits are and which ones you need. Note that the benefits may differ based on the specific type of trust you choose:
- Distributes assets to beneficiaries without paying for the cost of probate
- Distributes assets in a more timely manner compared to probate proceedings
- Allows beneficiaries and heirs to maintain privacy
- Reduces taxes on large inheritances that may otherwise become subject to estate taxes
- Protects assets left for dependents, such as elderly parents, minors, special needs people and even pets
- Protects income-related eligibility for disabled and elderly family members

My Attorney and Paralegal Kara Mietlicki are such a wonderful team. I’ve seen them in action and it’s amazing.They will go to battle for someone that they believe in. They will work endlessly to make sure that their client gets their paternal rights. I am thankful that they are by my side through the toughest struggle I have ever experienced in my life.

I came to the Johnson Law Group during a time of extreme stress. Andrea Dalton accepted my case and made me feel right at ease. She is compassionate, gives sound advice, and helped me obtain over $20,000 that my ex husband was illegally withholding from me. I appreciate her for giving me the confidence to stand up for myself. If I have any issues with my ex in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out to Andrea for help.

I hired Johnson law group for an adoption matter. I worked with Daniel Sol as my attorney and his assistant Katie Wilson. They were with me every step of the way. Daniel listened to all of my concerns and helped to address all issues. Without their assistance and guidance, I would have had a much harder time making it through my case! I highly recommend Daniel sol, Katie Wilson and Johnson law group

They were very professional and showed heart warming empathy towards me. The entire group treated my like an actual person and not just another client.

I would absolutely recommend the Johnson Law Group to anyone reading this and I will be telling anyone I know, that may also need their services. They will treat you right and be in your corner.- Kimberly D.

I was in a very difficult custody/child support dispute with my ex-spouse. The Johnson law Group and in particular Elizabeth Gregory was phenomenal with their representation of my case. Working with her was such a wonderful experience, kept our goals at the top of every conversation, knew all points and avenues that we could take, never lead us in the wrong direction. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is going through a family law issue.- Liz

Myles is the best representation for anyone who has to go through an APR case. From day 1 he was very welcoming and attentive to me and what I was going through. I always felt very respected by him and the other members of his firm. Myles always took the time to really investigate any information or things involved with my case. I knew he was truly invested in my best wishes. When there were deadlines that needed to be met, they always were. If I was ever confused about a process, paperwork or court proceedings Myles took the time to explain and make sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. All the way through Mediation. He was an absolute success and I could not have asked for better representation. I will always recommend Myles to anyone in need an attorney.

Before working with Johnson Law. I had a previous attorney who completely screwed us over. He definitely only took us on for the money. He had no communication, mixed us up with different clients and so much more. So my husband and I were very scared working with a different attorney and getting screwed over again but we took the chance with Johnson law. We are currently working with Shana Velez, Kristina Contreras, and Julie Hernandez. After expressing my concerns because of the previous attorney they have kept amazing communication with me. They know who they are speaking to every time, they know my case, and they definitely don’t try to just take my money. They do their best to save me money as much as they can! These ladies have done such an amazing job with my case so far! 10/10 highly recommend! I will be back with another review once we are done working with them :)- Sierra S.
