After my dad died and my mom had a little Money. I told her mom go out and buy yourself some new furniture . Buy a nice washer and dryer. Go to bingo everyday if you want to. My mom scrimped and saved all her life because we were poor. When it was my birthday I honored my mother because she carried me for 9 months and gave me life. When she died I was devastated. She left a couple thousand dollars to me and I couldn't even spend it. I kept thinking about the time she could have used it when I was a little kid. But she did go out and treat herself to New furniture and did spend most of it. She had a stroke and I was there every day. I didn't even think about my job. I thought how many times she sacrificed for us. Please be good to your parents. They gave you life.

[@memeyers1962]

I know how you feel. My mom lived with us the last 17 years of her life. When she got sick i didn’t hesitate to care for her. I was honored to see the woman brought me into the world out of this world. My brother who did nothing in the last 17 years for her. When she needed new tires i informed him she didn’t have the money….crickets. My husband I cover 60% (all we could afford). Over the years i provided for her as she provided for me growing up and a few times as an adult. Do you know he took 1/2 her insurance after burial expenses, but he did let me keep all funds from the sale of her car ($3000 after my expenses waiting for probate). Wasn’t super nice of him? Forgot to mention her insurance was only $25,000 after expenses. I’m feel greedy, but if the roles were reversed I wouldn’t taken half, if any at all.

Excellent information, our family is fractured now because of a will that was changed days before dad died. Resentment, envie, and greed motivated a couple siblings to prey on his despair and get him to change his will.

It is beyond my comprehension why siblings plot to hurt one another, but the love of money does funny things to people.

[@ksmith2852]

Don't do it. It only benefits the attorneys. Almost 70 percent of living trusts are never funded. Meaning the trust is like a shopping cart and your assets are like the products you put in a cart. Everytime you buy an asset, or sell an asset, guess what..the estate planning attorney or CPA will charge you to update the trust and it is not cheap. Furthermore, if you try to say get a mortgage but your securities at a brokerage are held in the trust you will have to get a notarized ($$$) copy of the trust not just show them your statement from your brokerage.

[@TobyMathis]

@@ksmith2852 Thank you for voicing your opinion. I disagree, but get where you are coming from. Lawyers make billions (with a "B") from probate fees. According to studies, including AARP, the average costs of transferring assets via probate are in the 15-20% range. There are also things like financial & health matters during your lifetime - both of which are also addressed in a living trust. Even unfunded, a living trust is better than a will as there is still a pour-over will included in a living trust that dumps everything into the trust. What it eliminates is public disclosure of what is going to whom as well as the litigation between beneficiaries. Too much here for a simple response, but suffice it to say, I disagree.

Wife and I did a living trust in 1992. She passed in 2015. Just sold our house which was in the trust. Found out one half of the estate was in my name and the other half was in the trust. I was shocked when the title company informed me. I received a check for half of the proceeds. The other half was a check made out to my trust. It has to be deposited to our trust bank account which we never had. I hope to see my attrney at church Sunday to see what I have to do as my credit union will not allow me to deposit the check. Talked to the bank the check was drawn on and was told I have to have an acount with them and then establish a trust account. Really perturbed at the attorney which set it up but he is long gone from here.

In California if your estate is over a certain amount they take something like 58% for probate. My best friend growing up lost Millions before they got done because his parents refused to put anything in a trust because they thought somebody would steal the trust from them and other silly rumors. They have four houses and a total of six million dollars in the estate. There was only him and his brother the brother who was causing all kinds of trouble. They had two boats but his brother wanted both boats stuff like that. Before probate was done a 6.5 million dollar estate dwindled down to 1.2 million each for the brothers. You better get a trust combined with a will.

Toby, been watching you for years and learned a lot. But this is probably one of the best videos so thanks for some of the suggestions! My mom's one asset was a house that was purchased in 1977 for $40k but sold for $1.1m (California) when she passed last year with the proceeds sitting in a specialized account until distributions are made. She had Alzheimers but she passed peacefully in her home as outlined in her AHCD which was part of the set of legal documents she had set up in her living trust. As the trustee of her estate, I am witnessing firsthand the grief and greed that you so aptly described. The beneficiaries are pulling out the stops. One beneficiary asked for their distribution immediately after mom passed, another contested the trust, and the last has filed a petition to have me removed claiming I had undue influence over her when she named me the trustee. But the trust was set up in 1979 (updated every 10 years with me named as the successor trustee every single time) when she was of sound mind so the net effect is that legal fees can still drain the trust by belligerent beneficiaries. Yes, those legal fees will eventually be recouped at their expense. It's stupid though. My mom would be mortified if she knew what was happening.

Very sorry for your loss of your Mother. I am and was a trustee for several people & family members, the greed I see is beyond belief! And yes, it is so very stupid. And yes I got accused of influencing, but the funny thing was when we had asked the greedy beneficiaries to help me as trustee to take care of the person so they had an idea of what was going on and could be paid a wage from the estate (and end up getting more money in the end than the others because they were being paid out of the same pot), not a one would step up. They wanted the money without the work. LOL...greedy, lazy and stupid...just unbelievable. Take care of yourself.

Do your research from sources who do not make money from you opening a Living Trust, funding and changing the trust, and administering it when you die. The last cost is hidden; you are dead so you can't complain about the charges and the beneficiaries don't know any better and have no recourse other than sue.

[@josegamez3220]

Well. We learn something new every day. THANK YOU

[@jackiefenner8051]

Thank you, your video was excellent!! My mom 80, has a Trust and I had questions on it where I called the lawyer who wrote it up but even still, you were very helpful! :)

[@Kim-hb8vh]

Got mines 30 years ago. No worries on my part. I’m good. 😁🤙🏽

[@TobyMathis]

Good to hear!

[@Rocinante1963]

Mine* ffs....smh

[@ckosenko2129]

Thanks for breaking it down - super helpful! I was hesitant at first - 20 mins is long to me but time flew by because I was learning lots of information.

[@TobyMathis]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

My mother left me a sizable trust and when she predeceased my stepfather 5 years ago it became irrevocable. She named me as the sole beneficiary and my stepfather as the trustee. I never expected to inherit any money and was not surprised that I didn't when she died. What actually happened was that my stepfather spent over $200,000 of my trust fund on himself for non necessary items.( He was already very well taken care of by her pension, God forbid he should work for a living.) He also hid the fact that my mother had a trust fund for me and I didn't find out until he died a year ago. What could have been done to prevent this? Do I have any legal recourse or did he just get away with it?

[@cherylleader1319]

This viedo is so beautifully done, I like the fact he called Aretha Franklin, Mrs. Franklin..showing me that he really care about legends and legacy. and taking care of your assets when you leave this world..thank you sir you are a blessings..I am running not walking to see a lawyer about a living trust for my family.thank you with all my heart😊

[@TobyMathis]

Thank you so much!

[@atxlionheartdw]

Sir, you are a BLESSING!!! My wife and I have been praying, and we have a Prayer Circle on our Ranch that we go to 2 to 7 times a day. I went there this early morning to beat this intense extreme hot(106°) weather. I watered, planted, arranged, and walked the circle praying for answers...I GOT IT, THROUGH YOU!! I came inside to shower and nap, then I pulled up my KZbin, and your/this video popped up and stood out to me...at 1st, I was like, hmmmm, no likes, but tons of positive feedback and comments. I played it loud as I sat to eat lunch, so my wife could hear it too. We were at PEACE and CALMNESS came over us. Your genuine servitude, professionalism, transparency, and love for TRUTH is very evident, sir, and for that, I thank you, man to man. We have a 18 acres Ranch in the Texas Hill Country, built a 2 story Barndominium, and have a 2 acres stocked pond, plus 4 German Shepherds, 120 chickens and roosters, 17 ducks, and multiple raised Vegetable Beds. My mom and her brother STOLE my INHERITANCE that my dad left for my sister and I when we were 5yrs and 4yrs old, he was a 2 time Purple Heart medal recipient, and he loved us, I REMEMBER!! Long story short, he left everything to us in his WILL, but somehow, my mom assumed the role to dole out my sister and my FORTUNE, and USE it on herself and her new husband who physically abused and beat me naked on drugs listening to demonic music. Then my grandfather who took me under his wings, left me his fortune too, because I was 1st born, and I helped him clean up his rental properties and small lots around town, as my sisters and cousins MOCKED and LAUGHED at me because they saw HARD WORK and NO PLAY on the weekends A LOT. Fast Forward, my grandfather came down with Alzheimers, but before he lost his senses, he PROMISED me that he was leaving it ALL to me. Once he died, they buried him immediately, and TOTALLY SHUT me OUT, and Never Answered the phone and said that I wasn't allowed to come to their Mc Mansions. I was confused, angry, lost, and CRUSHED, because didn't know what was happening....NOW I DO!!!lol THANK YOU!!! What can we do to work with you on our LIVING WILL?🙏🏽 Father God Almighty, please continue to bless this humble giving gentleman who is freely giving crucial information and explanations from his BIG HEART. We pray he will experience a hundred, thousand fold increase in his business opportunities and clients, in Christ Jesus name, amen🙏🏽🤴🏼🙌🏽

[@desiralhagger4034]

Your video was forwarded to me by a friend and after watching your presentation, it was very informative and to the point. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@evaallen9728]

Excellent info! Stumbled upon your video. Been speaking to folks about this for a while but currently going through a similar situation with my Aunt who has now ended up in a Nursing home. Will Subscribe to your channel. Much love from Canada. 🇨🇦

[@EXPEKT3D]

Awesome job at explaining this information. Leaving a legacy idea definitely puts life into perspective as to what is important to you and your family.

[@TobyMathis]

Well said!

[@zoomwithsmokeybearlive3032]

That's why you want to put everything in a trust

[@letlhogonoloelijahletsatsi8859]

You know today someone introduced me to a living trust with few hours I see this informative video.thanks

[@juilojeansimon4963]

I'm glad I found your video information that is giving me a clue how everything is going in process information is the key for everything.

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

Another phenomenal informational video. Better than a paid appearance with a lawyer.

[@esthersdaughterlong8149]

New here. Love your teaching and honesty. I just have a will. Guess I better get a Living Trust. Thank you.

[@marklogreco2942]

Wow. What an eye opener. Direct and to the point. Explained very well and easy to understand. This is definitely the way to go.

[@TobyMathis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ehrashkae6343]

Incredible information in the world we live in today, thank you

[@cynthiagalarpe2830]

Very informative. We had an expired Living Trust from California but due to moving to another State kept me on delaying to do a new, too many changes. Thank you and I will make sure my husband will watch your video presentation.

[@huacatifields1429]

Thank you for this video. I have a horror story to tell if I had the space. You're right, a Will is a joke. Now I just need to find someone that I can trust to handle my Living Trust.

[@TobyMathis]

Hi Huacati, thank you for leaving your comment. You can request a free 45-minute consultation to discuss our proven asset protection and tax strategies and how they apply to your unique situation. You can request your free session here! ------> aba.link/tobyss

[@ksmith2852]

Ask about 1. Costs to add an asset 2. Costs to remove an asset 3. Costs to manage the trust 4. If it is you and your spouse, what happens when one dies. (I already know...and it is bad)

[@dcorbin5258]

Toby, I greatly appreciate you content which is a needed asset.

[@Lvj22]

This is wonderful content! I am in Maryland and helping my elderly parents plan their estate and will be planning mine. It is terrible how probate works.

[@elaineash1557]

One of the best, clearest videos I've seen on this topic. THANK YOU! Toby is a natural on camera.

[@roberttaylor5072]

Mind blowing. Many thanks! Will immediately check on Australian version and cross fingers it’s the same meaningful deal. Went through Probate with my beautiful mother in law and it was a four year horror show with all sorts of never heard of “Step kids” in their 50’s putting hands out. Pure distain for those types. Now we have protection thanks to your SELFLESS ADVICE. Bless you Toby! Tory Taylor 😘

[@iancross9729]

Thanks so much, it answered my questions to the fullest.

[@feliciapayne6527]

Thank you very much… This information came right in time!!! My mother passed away without a will or a living trust!!! And I’m sad to say that my brother is a practicing attorney of over 30 years! This should have never happened!!!! Im a nurse of over 35 years and when I constantly spoke with her in reference to her affairs she always said “she had a will”… Thank you for your service!

[@MrBreacher68]

Great Information and thanks for fighting the good fight. Soooo much information and so much misdirection out here that it’s hard to find the best most efficient way to stream line things and protect yourself while you’re here and when you’re gone. Again, thanks for the great information!

[@TobyMathis]

You are very welcome, thank you for watching!

[@FindAllFate]

This is exactly what I want, I want to create generational wealth for future generations in my family, unfortunately I’m starting from scratch at the moment but have a plan and I’m running with it, and I like the fact that I can dictate and make sure that the money and assets continue to grow and continue to be handed down generation after generation without those future generations just squandering the money but making that money grow and the assets grow even after I’m gone, to create generational wealth so that my grandkids and their kids and so on aren’t starting from scratch and have a good shot in life, I am so glad I saw this video

[@Chickennss]

You had me at “I drive a car, jjjgghhghh”. 😂

[@maryperrysmith5815]

Thank you for doing this video. I’m 67. I needed to hear this information

[@Rachel-rh8je]

“A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous” (Proverbs 13:22).

[@TobyMathis]

I have thought about that often. Thank you.

[@RikiHawk]

Thank you for the information. My parents have a will and asked me to be their caretaker. I recommended a Living Trust because we have siblings and some are not on speaking terms. The Living trust provides my parents the opportunity to provide their voice in their assets. Great inforamation.

[@steveng8290]

Thank you so much for the great information. Was going to do a Will. Now learned a LT is the way to go. On it!

[@leewilson1368]

Toby, I thank you immensely for this informative episode. I will be in touch!

[@StevenBMason]

Great info Mr. Toby but I felt like I was in 5th grade again. Three words for you Bro “Dry Erase Board”. Thanks for sharing.

[@MsMcBell]

I love your take on things! To the point and not greedy, which is something one sees very seldom nowadays! Kudos! ❤️ 👍

[@donaldmurphy1518]

My Man, Powerful information! You broke this down so simple. Thanks!

[@christinelandale]

certainly learnt a lot that didnt know before..thank you

[@Wolvenstar]

Hello Toby. Your content is incredibly valuable. This is good financial education. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@TobyMathis]

I appreciate that. Thank you so much for watching!

[@spartaeus]

In many states when someone dies intestate, all that is necessary for the heirs to take legal procession of the decedent's real estate is to file a simple form called an affidavit of heirship. It costs about $250

[@wanderingdeer1114]

Only if their estate is small enough (think under $100k depending on state) and no real property.

[@spartaeus]

@@wanderingdeer1114 In my state, Tennessee, an affadavit of heirship is for real estate, without limit of value.

[@Andie702]

Woohoo! Best part of this is that you are here in Nevada. I need to make an appointment. 👊🏼

[@charnell59]

This video really helped me. OMG! I need to get started on a trust now. I'm only 57, and I had some medical issues, so I need to put this in gear.

[@karinarivas1064]

This is fantastic. Beautifully explained.

[@isidroarias3864]

You’re beautiful

[@mike_birkhead]

Great video (I love it when Toby acts out the story and with sound effects)!

[@eudoxeya]

This was very educational and what I was looking for. Easily understood and thank you for providing that information
