Why Consider a Trust?

Privacy, Control, and Fewer Headaches for Heirs

A trust is a legal arrangement that holds assets for your beneficiaries under a trustee's management. Many Upstate families choose a revocable living trust to streamline transfers, keep details private, and provide continuity if incapacity occurs. Babb, Bixler & Dollar LLC helps Greenville and Mauldin clients decide when a trust adds value-and how to coordinate it with the rest of the estate plan.

Types of Trusts We Set Up

Choose the Right Tool for Your Goals

Revocable Living Trusts
Common for privacy, incapacity planning, and easier distribution-especially helpful if you own property in multiple states.


Testamentary Trusts
Trusts created within your will for minors or staged distributions; they activate after probate.


Irrevocable Trusts
Used for targeted goals such as life insurance ownership or creditor-resistant planning in specific situations.

Our Trust Formation Process

Design, Draft, and-Most Important-Fund

We map your objectives, draft the trust, and guide funding: retitling real estate, updating financial accounts, and assigning personal property. Deeds and transfer paperwork are prepared so assets actually move into the trust, a step many DIY plans miss. We also brief your successor trustee on practical duties if you'd like.

Trusts vs. Wills - Which Do You Need?

They Work Together for a Complete Plan

A will names guardians and covers assets outside the trust; a living trust manages assets during life and can avoid probate for assets inside it. Many clients use both. We'll help you balance simplicity, cost, and control-whether you live near downtown Greenville or in growing areas like Simpsonville.
