A revocable living trust is a flexible tool that lets you manage assets during life and direct their distribution after death.
This guide outlines essential steps to create, fund, and maintain your trust in Wisconsin.
A revocable living trust is a trust you establish during life that you can modify or revoke. Assets placed in the trust are managed by a trustee for the benefit of designated beneficiaries.
Key elements include the grantor, trustee, beneficiaries, and funded assets. The process involves drafting the trust, naming a successor trustee, transferring assets into the trust, and updating documents as goals change.
Glossary terms help clients understand core concepts such as grantor, trustee, and beneficiaries, and how funding a trust works.
The person who creates the trust and sets its terms.
The person or institution responsible for managing trust assets and carrying out the grantor’s instructions.
The person or organization designated to receive trust assets either during the grantor’s lifetime or after death.
The process of transferring ownership of assets into the trust to make it effective.
Families compare revocable living trusts with wills and other planning tools to weigh probate avoidance, privacy, and ongoing control.
For small estates with few assets, a streamlined plan may be sufficient, though we assess every situation to confirm.
If probate costs and court involvement are low, a simpler arrangement might work without unnecessary complexity.
Every family has unique goals. A comprehensive plan ensures documents reflect wishes across scenarios and asset types.
We coordinate with financial advisors, tax professionals, and trustees to keep documents aligned.

It also helps preserve privacy, minimize taxes where possible, and provide clear directions for guardians and successors.
