The revocable living trust is a trust you can revoke or amend at any time, designed to control when and how assets are distributed.
Funding the trust, choosing a trustee, outlining distributions, and knowing how to revoke or update the trust are the core steps.
Here are plain-language definitions for common terms used in revocable living trusts.
The person who creates the trust and retains control over the assets placed into it.
The person or entity who benefits from the trust distributions.
The person or institution charged with managing the trust according to its terms.
A will that directs any remaining assets into the trust upon death.
Wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations each offer different levels of control, probate exposure, and tax implications.
If your assets are straightforward and probate is acceptable, a simpler plan may be right for you.
Even with some complexity, a streamlined approach can fit your needs in many cases.
A full plan covers incapacity protections, tax considerations, and long-term care strategies.

Start with clear objectives such as avoiding probate, protecting assets for loved ones, or planning for incapacity.
Life changes call for updates; set a reminder to review your plan regularly.
If you want control over distributions, probate avoidance, and capacity planning, revocable living trusts are a solid option.
We tailor plans to your family, assets, and goals to provide clarity and protection.

A trust can ensure assets pass as you intend and provide ongoing protection for dependents.

A revocable living trust lets you control when and how assets are distributed and can be altered or dissolved during your lifetime. It can help you avoid probate for incorporated assets and provide a smooth path for your heirs.
In many cases, assets held in a revocable living trust avoid probate, but some assets may still be subject to probate unless properly titled or funded. We review your accounts to determine the best approach.
Fund everything you want controlled by the trust—real estate, bank accounts, investments, and business interests—and keep beneficiary designations aligned with your plan.
Setup time varies with complexity, but we can typically complete plan documents within a few weeks after gathering your information.
Yes. A revocable living trust can be amended or revoked at any time while you retain control over the assets.
If incapacity occurs, a successor trustee can manage assets according to your instructions without court intervention, provided you’ve named someone ready to act.
While a revocable living trust offers planning flexibility, it does not eliminate all taxes, but it can help with sophisticated planning in some scenarios.
The trustee can be a trusted family member, a professional fiduciary, or an institution. We help you choose the option that best suits your family.
A pour-over will works with your trust by directing any assets not already funded into the trust at death.
