A revocable living trust is a trust you can adjust or revoke during your lifetime. It holds title to your assets and names a trustee to manage them for your beneficiaries. Unlike an irrevocable trust, you retain control and can make changes as your situation evolves.
Yes, revocable living trusts can help avoid or reduce probate for assets held in the trust. However, assets not funded into the trust may still go through probate. A properly funded trust provides privacy and a smoother transition for your family.
Funding a trust means transferring ownership of assets into the trust’s name, such as real estate, bank accounts, and investments. We guide you through deeds, retitling, and beneficiary changes to ensure assets flow as planned.
The trustee should be someone you trust to follow your instructions, handle finances, and manage assets. This can be a trusted family member, a friend, or a professional trustee service.
Most revocable living trusts can be amended or revoked at any time while you are the grantor. We help you implement changes and keep your plan current.
Costs vary with complexity, but a revocable living trust is often cost effective when you weigh probate avoidance and ongoing administration. We provide clear pricing and an upfront estimate.
Timeline depends on your assets and goals. A basic revocable trust can be completed in a few weeks, while more complex plans may take longer.
Even with a trust, you may still need a will to handle assets not funded into the trust and to name guardians if needed. A pour-over will can direct assets into the trust.
Yes, a revocable living trust can include incapacity planning provisions and appoint a trustee to manage finances if you cannot. This helps ensure your choices are followed and provides continuity.
