This week Christina Strait talks about trusts and estates.  Why do some homeowners title their home in the name of a trust?  What are the advantages?  What happens to that home while in a trust - and who manages it?  So many things to consider.  She's not a lawyer, but it's smart to talk to one!  Christina will give you some stories from experience about why you should consider a trust as an option, even if you've never thought about it in the past.
