    About this audiobook

    If you want to know all the basics of trust funds, estate planning, and what to do with your mortgage towards the end of your life, this will be very helpful. The following topics will be addressed:


    Estate Planning - Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and disposal of a person's estate during their life and after death. It involves creating legal documents such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, minimize taxes, and provide for your loved ones. It's important to regularly review and update your estate plan to reflect changes in your life circumstances and the law.



    Reverse Mortgage - A reverse mortgage allows homeowners aged 62 or older to access a portion of the equity they have built up in their homes over the years. The amount that can be borrowed depends on factors such as the homeowner's age, the appraised value of the home, and current interest rates.

    One of the key features of a reverse mortgage is that it does not require monthly payments like a traditional mortgage does. Instead, the loan balance increases over time as interest accrues on the borrowed amount. The homeowner retains ownership of the home and can continue to live in it as long as they comply with the loan terms, which typically include maintaining the property and paying property taxes and homeowners insurance.



    Trust Funds - Trust funds can be quite versatile and serve various purposes depending on the needs and goals of the grantor. They can be set up during one's lifetime (living trusts) or established through a will upon death (testamentary trusts). Trusts can be revocable, meaning the grantor retains control and can modify or revoke the trust during their lifetime, or irrevocable, where the terms are fixed and cannot be changed.
