Trust and Estate Planning in the Philippines

At Duran & Duran-Schulze Law, we assist individuals and families in navigating the complexities of estate law. We also provide specialized legal expertise to clients seeking to manage their assets, protect their wealth, and ensure that their wishes are effectively carried out after their passing.

Trust and Estate Planning

Trust and Estate Planning is the process of managing, making arrangements, and ensuring that one’s property will be designated to his/her heirs, beneficiaries, and guardians according to his/her wishes. An estate may include land properties, vehicles, bank accounts, investments and insurance, and personal possessions.

It is crucial to process a trust and estate planning because of the following reasons:

  • To avoid family feuds and disagreements;
  • To assign a guardian for your child/children under 18 years old in the event that you and your partner are no longer alive;
  • To equalize inheritance among heirs, beneficiaries, and guardians;
  • To protect your family from financial burden;
  • To specified healthcare instructions that the individual preferred; and 
  • To support charitable organizations or causes that the individual is passionate about even beyond his/her lifetime.
