Revocable
Living Trusts

Like a Will, a Revocable Living Trust lets you direct how and to whom your property will be distributed after your death. You appoint a Trustee to manage your trust, just as an executor would manage your Will. The Trustee holds your assets and distributes them upon your passing, according to the instructions you specify in your Trust.

Unlike a Will, a Trust can also be used to direct how your property will be managed during your lifetime in case you become incapacitated. A Living Trust also legally protects your assets from going to Probate, saving your heirs time and money.

The Advantages of Living Trusts

  • Save Time - Probate can often take 1½ to 2 years. Meanwhile your assets are tied up and your heirs have to get court approval to make any changes. With a Living Trust there are no courts involved in the decision-making process.

  • Save Money - Probate fees are set by Statute and can often eat up 10% or more of your estate's value. With a Living Trust there is no Probate or associated legal fees, leaving the full value of your estate to be distributed to your heirs.

  • Privacy - a Will is a matter of public record. Anyone can go down to the Probate Court , obtain a copy of your Will, and find out what you had and who you left it to. A Living Trust on the other hand is entirely private, so your family business stays within your family. The Will that is contained in a Living Trust is not a matter of public record because it is under the protection of the Trust.

  • Disputes - Wills are often challenged in court. It is much more difficult to dispute your wishes when they are secured in a Living Trust. Our "No Contest" clause specifies that anyone who attempts to challenge your wishes shall receive nothing from the estate.

  • Reduce Taxes - Our A/B clause provides for reducing or eliminating all or a portion of the estate taxes placed on larger estates by utilizing the Bypass Trust.

  • Control - Your family, not the Probate Court, has control over the settlement process with a Living Trust. Furthermore, should conservatorship ever be required, our Living Trust documents provide for it without the necessity of going to court. You do not give up any rights or privileges by creating a Living Trust - anything you could do before you can still do, including revoking the Living Trust should you ever wish to do so.
