When I pass away, how do I leave assets in a protective way for my children and grandchildren?

In today’s world with the high level of divorce, creditor claims and bad influences, parents should consider setting up Safe Trusts (also referred to as “Family Protection Trusts”) for their children and grandchildren. The Safe Trust will allow your child to benefit from the income and trust assets as needed without risking the trust assets to problems that arise which may or may not be in the control of your child.
