A revocable living trust is a trust you create during life that you can change or revoke. It holds title to your assets for your benefit while you’re alive, and it can continue to control how those assets are managed if you become unable to handle affairs.
Unlike a will, a revocable living trust can provide privacy and help streamline the transfer of assets after death. The key is funding the trust by transferring assets into it and naming successors who will manage the trust when needed.
A Revocable Living Trust is a flexible estate planning tool that you can modify or dissolve during your lifetime. You remain the grantor and often name a trustee to manage assets for your benefit and for your beneficiaries after your death.
Core elements include the grantor, the trustee, trust property, successor trustees, and asset distribution provisions. The process involves selecting a trustee, funding the trust by transferring assets, and periodically updating documents to reflect life changes.

A Revocable Living Trust is a flexible arrangement you create during life that you can modify or revoke. It holds assets for your benefit and can specify how those assets are distributed after death. Funding the trust—transferring property, accounts, and real estate into the trust—is a key step. You retain control as the grantor and can adjust provisions as needed.
Funding involves retitling assets into the trust and updating beneficiary designations where appropriate. Regular reviews ensure titles, accounts, and beneficiary rules stay aligned with your wishes. Our team can guide you through this process and coordinate with financial institutions.
Yes, one of the main advantages of a revocable living trust is probate avoidance for assets placed in the trust. However, some assets outside the trust may still go through probate. A comprehensive plan helps address these items and keeps the overall process smooth.
A trust is revocable when you can modify or cancel it during your lifetime. The trustee is the person or institution you appoint to manage trust assets according to its terms.
Trusts can be updated by you as the grantor. Typically, this involves amending the trust document and updating asset titles and beneficiary designations to reflect current wishes.
Yes. A trust can include provisions related to guardianship or guardians for minor beneficiaries, and it can direct how assets are managed for their benefit until they reach adulthood.
If you become incapacitated, a trustee or successor trustee can continue to manage assets held in the trust without court intervention, provided the trust terms designate successor leadership and powers.
The timeline varies with complexity and the assets involved. A simple revocable living trust can be prepared in weeks, while a larger plan may take longer to coordinate funding, reviews, and any necessary filings.
Costs vary based on the complexity of your plan and the assets involved. We provide clear, upfront pricing and work with you to build a plan that fits your family’s needs and budget.
