A revocable living trust is a flexible estate planning tool that allows you to adjust the trust terms while you are alive. You can revoke it entirely or amend it as life changes require.
Having a trust in place can complement a will, providing a vehicle to manage assets during your lifetime and after death, while still allowing for updates as circumstances change.
Assets you own in your name can be transferred into the trust so they are managed and distributed according to your plan, including real estate, bank accounts, and investments.
A properly funded trust allows assets to pass outside the probate process, preserving privacy and often speeding the transfer to beneficiaries.
If you become incapacitated, a revocable living trust can designate a successor trustee to manage your affairs without court intervention.
A trustee can be a trusted individual or a financial institution with experience managing trusts and assets.
Processing time varies by complexity, but we guide you through each step to keep you informed.
No. A trust and a will work together; the trust generally controls the distribution of trust assets, while a will handles other assets.
Yes. You can revoke or amend the trust during your lifetime, subject to the terms of the trust.
Costs vary by complexity, but we offer clear pricing and discuss options during your consultation.
