TRUST ATTORNEY
SERVING WILLIAMSVILLE, NY

If you already have a Will or general estate plan in place, you may be wondering what a trust can do to benefit you. Clients who want to leave behind belongings and inheritances to their families and want to avoid the probate process turn to Katz & Baehre as their trust attorney. We recommend trusts to our clients that have large estates or are dealing with complex situations that have to be carefully managed. Through use of trusts, you will be able to name your own trustee that you can count on to be impartial, or you can allow our attorneys to take on this role to protect your assets and those that are meant for your beneficiaries.

What Does a Trust Attorney Do?

If you have never heard of a trust attorney or you are unsure of what we do, the trust attorneys at Katz & Baehre are here to assist you. The purpose of a trust attorney is to set up a trust on your behalf. Once that is sorted, trust attorneys can also assist whomever you appoint as your trustee with legal actions. If you have a large or complex trust, you may even consider naming your attorney as your trustee.


A trust is very complex and there are many aspects to it that can be overlooked, which can lead to consequences.

Trust Attorney FAQs

  • How much does a trust attorney cost?

    The cost of working with a trust attorney can vary depending on the complexity of your estate, the type of trust being created, and whether additional planning (such as tax or elder law considerations) is involved. Some trusts are straightforward, while others require more detailed asset planning and customization. At Katz & Baehre, our trust lawyers focus on providing clear guidance and transparent pricing, so you understand your options before moving forward.

  • Trust vs. Will: what’s the difference?

    A will outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and typically goes through probate court. A trust, on the other hand, can manage and distribute assets both during your lifetime and after death, often avoiding probate altogether. Working with a trust lawyer can help you determine whether a trust, a will, or a combination of both is best for your estate plan.

  • Do I need a trust attorney if I already have a will?

    Many people with existing wills still benefit from working with a trust attorney. Trusts can offer additional advantages such as privacy, probate avoidance, and asset protection. An experienced estate trust attorney can review your current documents and recommend updates that better align with your long-term goals.
