A revocable living trust is a flexible instrument you create to hold and manage your assets during life, with the option to change terms or dissolve the trust at any time.
Funding and proper naming are essential to ensure your trust works as intended and avoids probate for your loved ones.
In this arrangement, you (the grantor) transfer ownership of property into a trust you control, and you designate a successor trustee to manage the trust if you become unable to do so.
Core steps include creating the trust, funding assets, naming a successor trustee, and periodically reviewing the document to reflect changes in your family or finances.

Yes, a revocable living trust can avoid probate for assets it owns, but some assets outside the trust may still go through probate. A probate avoidance strategy is part of proper trust funding.
Funded assets are titled in the name of the trust or have beneficiary designations directed to the trust. This step is essential for the plan to work.
Reviews are advised after major life events and every few years. We can help you keep your trust aligned with your goals.
A successor trustee takes over management if you cannot, ensuring continuity. It’s important to choose someone you trust and to outline powers clearly.
