A REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST, also known as a LIVING TRUST, is a modern substitute for a traditional Will. Like a Will, the purpose of a Living Trust is to distribute your estate at death. Wills are no longer desirable, because a traditional Will puts your estate into court at death, a process called Probate. Probate is costly (3-10% of the gross value of the estate), and time-consuming (1-2 years on average), as well as frustrating for your heirs. For more information about a Revocable Living Trust, be sure to visit our Revocable Living Trust page.

A Living Trust, properly funded, will AVOID THE PROBATE process, its time consumption, and its cost. With a Living Trust, your estate will be distributed to your heirs with minimal expense , and, usually, in less than six months!

In a Living Trust, you name yourself as the Trustor (person who sets up the Trust), the Trustee (person who manages the Trust), and Beneficiary (person who gets the assets from the Trust). As Trustor, you, and only you, can make changes to the Trust, via Amendment, or cancel the Trust, by revoking it. As the Trustor, you have complete control over the terms of the Trust.

As the Trustee, you manage your estate, much as you do now. You can buy, sell, invest, bank, and give assets out of the trust, as you wish. In the Trust, we will name Successor Trustees, who will take over management of the Trust whe you are deceased, or incapacitated.
