Advice needed for trust novice

[clarence]

I am 68 years old and I own a couple properties and a joint bank account with my wife. We’re thinking about doing our first trust so that we can make sure our kids get everything. How do you go about getting this done?

There is so much talk about estate planning (http://www.walterstrustinfo .com)

I have also heard you can do your own documents? Has anyone tried this before?

Hi Clarence.

I've moved your request over here because it's a self-started topic.

Maybe someone will have some comments for you.
