Northwest Bank Provides Trust Tips For National Financial Capability Month

COLUMBUS, OHIO - In honor of National Financial Capability Month, previously known as National Financial Literacy Month, Northwest Bank provides customers with information about different types of trusts. National Financial Capability Month was designated as a call to action for Americans to not only learn and commit to various savings options, but to also learn more about the different resources available to make informed and effective decisions.

For people looking to protect their assets while ensuring beneficiaries can easily access various accounts, setting up a trust may be the most effective option. As a legal contract that ensures that assets are managed according to one’s wishes, trusts can provide potential tax benefits and the ability to set parameters for how and when assets will be used and distributed – during and after the person’s lifetime.

Estate planning is often a difficult conversation to have with loved ones. However, these discussions are needed to express a person’s wishes and help ease the burden on others. Drafting a will is one way to do that. Often a trust serves as a better option to express one’s wishes because trusts provide for unique family circumstances, such as addressing privacy concerns, avoiding potential disagreements between family members, protecting a beneficiary who is financially unwise, or providing for a disabled loved one.
