Plymouth Trust Attorney
Trust Planning Designed for Plymouth Families
A well-structured trust can be one of the most effective tools for protecting your assets, supporting your loved ones, and ensuring your wishes are carried out with clarity and control. Whether you are building wealth, planning for retirement, or thinking about how to care for future generations, trust planning can help you create a more secure future.
At Guttman Law, PLLC, we work with individuals and families throughout Plymouth to design customized trust-based estate plans that reflect their goals, values, and long-term priorities.
What a Trust Can Help You Accomplish
Trusts are not just for complex estates. They are practical planning tools that can provide structure, protection, and flexibility at nearly every stage of life.
- Keep Your Estate Out of Probate
One of the most common reasons people create trusts is to avoid probate. Assets properly transferred into a trust can typically pass to beneficiaries more efficiently, privately, and with fewer legal delays.
- Provide for Loved Ones
A trust allows you to set clear instructions for how your assets should be managed and distributed. This can be especially helpful if you have children, grandchildren, or family members who need ongoing financial support.
- Plan for Unexpected Events
If you become incapacitated, a successor trustee can manage your trust assets without court involvement, helping ensure your financial affairs continue smoothly.
- Maintain Control Over Your Legacy
Trusts give you the ability to decide not just who receives your assets, but how and when those assets are distributed—helping you protect long-term family wealth and avoid potential conflicts.
- Common Types of Trusts
Every family’s situation is different, and the right trust depends on your specific needs and goals.
- Revocable Living Trusts
A flexible option that allows you to maintain control of your assets during your lifetime while providing a streamlined transfer of assets after death.
- Irrevocable Trusts
Often used for asset protection or advanced planning strategies, irrevocable trusts may offer additional tax or wealth preservation benefits depending on your situation.
- Special Needs Trusts
Designed to support loved ones with disabilities while preserving eligibility for essential government benefits.
- Children’s Trusts
Used to manage inheritances for minors or young adults, allowing you to determine when and how funds are distributed over time.

We have wanted to start our estate planning for many years but simply didn’t know where or who to go to to start the process. Once I heard about Matt on the radio and looked at his profile on-line I knew he was the right person to contact. After our first meeting with him we were impressed how detailed he was in explaining the process and what we would need to do to make sure we had our estate plan in place. Matt was very friendly and made us feel comfortable with the entire process from start to finish. I would recommend Matt to anyone who needs help getting started to plan their estate.- Chad D.

Matt Guttman was recommended to me by a professional I trust. I also heard him speak and answer questions at my accountant’s firm when he gave a seminar about “What to include in your will.” He is knowledgeable and responsive. My husband and I chose to work with him five years ago to develop our estate plan (including wills and healthcare plans). Due to changes in our family, we updated our documents recently. Matt and his staff were friendly and efficient in helping us through that process. I recommend him highly.- Bev S.
