A revocable living trust is a trust you establish during life that you can modify or revoke. It holds assets you transfer into it while you’re alive.
Funding the trust — transferring real estate, bank accounts, and other property — ensures your assets are managed and distributed according to your plan, often avoiding court supervision after death.
This living trust is revocable by you, so you retain control and can revise the terms, name a successor trustee, and designate how assets are managed during incapacity or after death.
Elements include the trust document, funding of assets, a named successor trustee, a pour-over will, and a plan for incapacity. The process typically involves drafting the trust, transferring assets, and coordinating with your overall estate plan to achieve a smooth transfer of wealth.
