What is a Living Trust?

A Trust, like a corporation, is an entity that exist only on paper but is legally capable of owning property. You can create a Trust by preparing and signing a document called a Declaration of Trust. A person called the trustee, designated by you and not the courts, is responsible for settling your estate after your death. The trustee can be anyone you trust, even if they will share in your estate.
 

How can a Living Trust help me?

A trust will allow your family to inherit your property, according to your wishes, without going through the expense and grief of Probate.
 

How can a Will help me?

A will is a legally-binding document that makes your wishes official: it tells the court how you want your estate settled following your death. It tells the court who gets what, how much, and who is in charge of finalizing your affairs. A will also specifies who will care for your minor children or other dependants, including financial responsibility for the children. Without a will, the court may act arbitrarily to dispose of your property, assets, and personal belongings.
 

What are Patent Laws?

The Constitution of the United States gives Congress the power to enact laws relating to patents, in Article I, section 8, which reads "Congress shall have power . . . to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." Under this power Congress has from time to time enacted various laws relating to patents. The first patent law was enacted in 1790. The law now in effect is a general revision which was enacted July 19, 1952, and which came into effect January 1, 1953.
