A revocable living trust is a trust you can change or revoke during your lifetime. It helps you manage assets privacy and can simplify transfer to beneficiaries after death.
When assets are owned by the trust they may avoid a probate process. Tax considerations and assets outside the trust can still pass through probate so a comprehensive plan is important.
Most non retitled assets such as real estate bank accounts investments and business interests can be placed in the trust. Certain assets may require titling changes and beneficiary designations may still apply.
Funding involves transferring ownership of assets into the trust and updating titles. This may include transferring real estate re titling financial accounts and naming a successor trustee.
