A revocable living trust can provide a structure for managing property during life, planning for incapacity and directing distribution after death.
What is this service?
Answer first
A living trust can hold assets and provide instructions for their management. Properly funded trust assets generally can be administered under the trust without formal probate.
What a living trust plan should address
- Who serves as trustee now and later
- Who can act if you become unable to manage trust assets
- Which beneficiaries receive property and under what terms
- How real estate and financial assets are connected to the trust
- How the trust coordinates with a pour-over will and other planning documents
The useful question is not simply “Do I have the document?” It is “Will the people, assets and transfer instructions actually work together when the document is needed?”
