A revocable living trust is a trust you create during life that you can change or revoke. It helps you control how your assets are managed and distributed, and it can avoid probate by transferring ownership into the trust. A trust can also provide guidance if you become incapacitated, ensuring your plan is carried out according to your wishes.
Funding the trust means transferring title of assets to the trust. This may include real estate, financial accounts, and non-titled property. It is an important step to ensure the trust works as intended and that assets transfer smoothly when needed.
Yes. You can modify or revoke the terms of a revocable living trust at any time while you are alive. The process should be documented properly to reflect your current wishes.
A trust can help avoid probate, keep matters private, and provide a clear plan for asset distribution. However, some assets may still go through probate if they are not funded into the trust or if they are handled outside the trust.
The successor trustee is responsible for managing trust assets after the grantor’s death or incapacity. They follow the trust terms, handle distributions, and keep records for beneficiaries.
Processing time varies by complexity and funding. Some plans can be prepared in a few weeks, while more complex estates may take longer.
No, not all trusts avoid probate completely. A revocable living trust can avoid probate for assets that are funded into the trust, but some assets may still be subject to probate.
Costs depend on the complexity and documents required. We provide transparent pricing and options to fit your needs.
While you can prepare documents on your own, having a Wisconsin-licensed attorney helps ensure compliance with state law and accuracy in transfer of assets.
To start, schedule a consultation with our firm to discuss your goals, gather relevant documents, and learn about your options.
