A revocable trust is a fantastic way to establish and protect your assets. It serves as a convenient alternative to probate for your heirs and can even protect their inheritance from creditors. A revocable living trust can give you and your family peace of mind that your assets are safe and managed according to your terms after your death. With a properly drafted trust, you have the ability to provide clear instructions for your beneficiaries. And the best part? You can make changes any time throughout your life!
The Last Will & Testament must be admitted to the probate court in order to be enforced. During the probate process, the contents of any will and the probate process become public record. However, a trust avoids probate entirely. Instead, your assets are distributed directly to your beneficiaries. Since a trust is not submitted to court, it remains private and thus protects your legacy from public scrutiny. In addition, you can write your trust in such a way that beneficiaries are protected from creditors or lawsuits.
