What Is A Living Trust?
A living trust is an estate planning tool that you fund and manage during your lifetime. This type of trust protects your assets and provides clear instructions for their distribution after your death. By placing your assets in a living trust, your estate can avoid the formal court-supervised probate process, which can be costly and take years to complete.
What Is A Revocable Trust?
A revocable trust is a trust that you can alter or revoke at any time. This flexibility allows you to make changes to your trust as your circumstances or wishes evolve. Some advanced estate planning strategies involve creation of irrevocable trusts, but the most common estate planning trust is a revocable living trust.
How An Attorney Can Help You Create Your Trust
Creating a living or revocable trust involves consideration of a number of serious issues, including the distribution of assets after death, the structuring of the inheritance to protect it from improvident spending or creditors, or to provide for young beneficiaries until they have reached a sufficient age and maturity to handle their inheritance. It also involves important consideration and selection of appropriate successor trustees to manage and implement the trust after the creator’s death or incapacity. An experienced estate planning attorney can guide you through the process, ensuring your trust is properly drafted and legally sound. Furthermore, they can help you understand the implications of different trust structures and tailor the trust to meet your specific needs.
