Seniors warned to be wary of living-trust scams

Living trust scams are a problem for seniors all over the country.  Authorities in Pennsylvania are warning senior citizens about probate and living trust con artists who could cost them thousands of dollars.

Unscrupulous individuals often try to sell living trusts to elderly people.  These individuals are often nothing more than sales agents trying to earn a commission by selling investments or living trusts that may be of questionable value.

Probate and living trusts are not a “one size fits all” issue, which is why it is important for anyone interested in estate planning to contact a qualified, reputable source for information.  Scam artists thrive on selling useless plans and advice to people concerned about their future, and senior citizens are a favored target of such individuals.

Individuals seeking to start a living trust are urged to do their homework, steer clear of offers involving high-pressure sales tactics, and look beyond fancy sounding credentials.
