A revocable trust provides detailed instructions and guidelines for your estate. Once signed, the terms are put into place, and the assets must support your care throughout your lifetime.
The grantor, or the person who creates the trust, can manage the assets or appoint someone else. A trustee refers to an individual, family member, friend, trusted advisor, or institution managing the resources and funds.
If an original trustee cannot fulfill their role due to a disability or death, a successor trustee will take over the responsibilities. The plans are considered revocable, offering a way to amend the terms or return assets at any time.
Revocable trusts may cover many assets, including the following:
The legal documentation does not cover assets such as cash, vehicles, retirement accounts, health or medical savings accounts, or generally assets held outside the United States.
In the case of retirement accounts, we do advise naming the trust as a beneficiary to ensure they properly flow into the trust upon a grantor’s death.
If you want to make your asset handling as easy and convenient as possible, a revocable trust may be the ideal solution for you and your loved ones. Professional attorneys can work with you to develop flexible terms regarding the control and distribution of your estate.
Revocable trusts allow the transfer of assets during a grantor’s lifetime in the event of disability, illness, or aging. The trust also allows grantors to name a successor trustee who can manage assets on their behalf if they become incapacitated.
When a grantor owns a business, revocable trusts can appoint a successor trustee to continue the operations. Proactive planning helps minimize downtime and maximize revenue.
After a death, revocable trusts allow beneficiaries to avoid lengthy probate timelines. Beneficiaries may receive the assets already transferred into the trust without waiting for a court appointment.
Any assets that aren’t transferred or fully funded during the grantor’s lifetime may need to go through probate.
Living trusts provide a way to plan for unexpected situations. The flexible terms allow a grantor to adjust estate planning goals when their circumstances or the people in their life change.
The trusts are legal in all states and offer portability with relocations. When you work with professional attorneys, the documentation is easy to set up and update as needed.
Grantors and trustees decide who receives access to the trust. After death, only the listed beneficiaries are entitled to a copy of the confidential documentation. The information is disclosed to federal and state taxing authorities as needed.
Living trusts allow successor trustees to distribute assets without a public process and written record in court. Privacy helps protect the beneficiaries from external pressures, such as individuals seeking financing help, investment opportunities, or charities.
