About Trent
Practice areas
- Trusts: 40%
Trusts, specifically revocable living trusts are used primarily to avoid probate. Similar to a will, a trust allows you to designate where your assets go when you die and to appoint someone known as a successor trustee to administer your estate when you die.
20 years
- Wills and living wills: 30%
Wills allow you, the testator, to name an executor, nominate guardians for minor children, direct to whom your assets will be distributed and set up various trusts for education, special needs etc.

- Probate: 15%
Probate is a court supervised process that is used to transfer titled assets of a decedent to her heirs, validate a will, empower an executor or administer an estate without a will.

- Corporate and incorporation: 10%

- Power of attorney: 5%
A Power of Attorney allows you to nominate an attorney in fact or someone that would be able to handle your affairs if you ever became unable to do so. Without a power of attorney, it would be necessary to put a guardianship in place--a costly and administratively burdenesome process.

Heather Norton, Estate planning Attorney on Apr 17, 2019
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have regularly referred clients to Trent, have worked with him on an associated matter, and have often turned to him with estate planning related questions I have encountered in my own law practice. Trent is extremely knowledgeable, thorough in his work, generous in what he gives to clients and colleagues-- but beyond that, he is simply a wonderful human being! I highly endorse this attorney.
Michelle Nisle, Probate Attorney on Apr 19, 2019
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Mr. Kunz as opposing counsel as well as alongside him on a very complicated matter that involved significant obstacles to reaching a satisfactory conclusion. Mr. Kunz's high level understanding of trusts and estates as well as the related property rights of the parties allowed us to resolve the matter in a way that satisfied all parties, which seemed impossible at the outset. Mr. Kunz is diligent and compassionate and has excellent relationships with his clients. I refer work to him and have complete confidence he will provide excellent legal service to all people that I refer to him.
