The Living Trust is a Trust which you establish to go into effect during your lifetime, as part of your overall estate plan, and for the purpose of receiving professional management for a specified por- tion of your property. It can be arranged for the benefit of yourself, members of your family, or other individuals or charities — and can be large or small. We will be glad to meet with you and your attorney to discuss a Living Trust as it fits in with your situation. For an appointment, at your convenience, please write or call the Personal Trust Department of the National Shawmut Bank, Boston, Massachusetts. No obligation, of course.
