A revocable living trust is a trust you create and fund during life that you can modify or revoke at any time.
It can help manage assets both during life and after death, and it can help avoid probate while providing for incapacity planning.
A revocable living trust places assets into a separate legal entity that you control. You can change beneficiaries and terms while you are alive, and assets pass to your chosen beneficiaries after death.
Fund the trust by transferring ownership of assets; name a successor trustee; use a pour-over will; and coordinate with powers of attorney and health directives when appropriate.
Key terms commonly used when planning with revocable living trusts are explained below.
A trust you can modify or revoke during your lifetime to manage assets and avoid probate.
