Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a trust if I already have a will?
A will still goes through probate — a public court process taking 12–18 months and costing 3–7% of your estate. A revocable living trust transfers assets privately, quickly, without court involvement.
I'm self-employed — can I still qualify for a mortgage?
Yes. Self-employed borrowers face more documentation requirements but absolutely can qualify. I specialize in bank statement loans, DSCR programs, and structures that work for business owners.
Can you help with both buying a home and setting up a trust?
That's exactly the Life Transition Concierge model — one advisor coordinating real estate, estate planning, and lending so every decision is aligned with your long-term wealth picture.
What states are you licensed in?
I hold an independent broker license across approximately 20 states. Contact me to confirm coverage in your state for real estate or mortgage services.
