A revocable living trust is a flexible document that you can revise or revoke during your lifetime. It helps you control asset distribution while you’re alive and arrange for a smooth transfer after death. Funding the trust is essential, which means transferring ownership of assets into the trust so it can be managed as you intend.
Funding the trust requires transferring ownership of assets into the trust and updating titles or beneficiary designations. Without funding, the trust cannot control assets at death.
A trust can help avoid probate for assets placed inside the trust, providing privacy and a smoother transfer of wealth. Some assets may still require probate if they are not funded or titled properly.
The trustee should be someone you trust to manage finances and carry out your instructions. This can be a trusted family member or a professional trustee if preferred.
Beneficiaries are the people or organizations designated to receive trust assets. You can update beneficiaries as life circumstances change.
Costs vary with complexity, including initial planning fees and ongoing updates. We provide transparent estimates and timelines at the outset.
After death, the successor trustee administers distributions per your instructions. If the trust is properly funded, probate may be avoided for those assets.
A trust can be suitable for small estates when privacy, streamlined administration, and incapacity planning are priorities, though not every situation requires one.
