Revocable vs Irrevocable Trust in NC — Which One You Actually Need
Most NC families think asset protection requires giving up control. It doesn't — for most of them. In this video I walk through the actual difference between revocable and irrevocable trusts in North Carolina, what each one actually does, and the most expensive mistake I see NC families make. I cover what a revocable trust does (probate avoidance, incapacity planning, privacy), what an irrevocable trust does (estate tax reduction, creditor protection, Medicaid planning), when each fits a NC family's net worth and situation, and the structural mistake that costs NC families thousands.
