ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENT PREPARATION

WHAT IS A REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST?

Living trusts (also known as a revocable trust, provides a solution for many potential issues associated with estate planning. One of the most important solutions a living trust can provide is protecting your assets, from the ugly probate process. A will cannot protect your assets from the probate process. You should consider many factors before deciding to create a living trust.

Living trust, is used to describe a trust that you create during your lifetime. A living trust helps you manage and protect your assets. Living trusts also protect you if you become ill or disabled at any age, after your trust is created.

TO ESTABLISH A REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST

Creating a trust proves to be very advantageous even though you may not be a man of great wealth. Trusts have the potential to manage your precious assets and belongings. In fact, it ensures that your property is distributed fairly, as you desire, following your death. On top of that, trusts save a ton of your family’s effort, time, and money.


To put it simply, trust refers to a legal paper that is set up by a corporation known as the grantor. A trustee possesses the control or management of the trust. On other hand, the property or the belongings of an individual person or a group held by the trust is called a beneficiary. In a few situations, the grantor himself/herself is the trustee. And in other cases, the grantor is a trustworthy friend or family member.

RESISTANT TO CONTEST

Between a will and a trust, the latter gives you more security when it comes to legal conflict. Sometimes, when a person is not happy with the property distribution, he/she could easily challenge it. In the case of a trust, usually nobody gets a right to do that. And due to this reason, most people consider a trust to be a better option than a will. However, it does not mean that one cannot challenge a trust. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. A person could challenge the authority of trust in two different ways. Firstly, if someone manages to prove that grantor suffered from a mental illness while establishing trust. On the other side, the trust can also be contested if someone proves that the grantor took such decision in undue influence.

AVOID PROBATE

It is considered to be the critical reason for setting up a trust. Averting probate indicates substantial savings in the case of time, paperwork, and legal fees. Probate is the process that determines the distribution of your property according to your will after death. But, by establishing a trust, you let your descendants bypass this procedure and acquire convenient access to the property and belongings within a short time span. Additionally, with the establishment of a trust, your family does not need to pay huge attorney fees for probate services, probably 5% of your estate’s value, plus tens of thousands of dollars in probate statutory fees and court costs.

CONVENIENT DISTRIBUTION

Trusts offer flexibility in case of distributing assets. The grantor gets the authority to decide on how his/her possessions will be distributed to the receivers. However, in case the beneficiaries are incapable of managing the property efficiently, the trust allows the grantor to disburse the money in smaller amounts instead of giving the property all at once. Moreover, the grantor can even specify where the beneficiary can spend the money (for instance- food, rent, healthcare, etc.). It will restrict the receiver to spend the entire amount, here and there.

CHARITABLE TRUSTS

It is a popular process of donating into charitable associations. A grantor possesses the right of transferring his/her property, real estate, etc. to a charitable organization. In the intervening time, the grantor can even keep on using his/her asset. Furthermore, these types of charitable donations are most of the time tax-deductible. Hence, the grantor continues relishing his/her property knowing that in the end it will be used in some worthy-cause.

A FAIR DIVISION OF ASSETS AND PROPERTY

In some cases, a difficult situation arrives while distributing assets precisely. In such circumstances, nothing can be as fruitful as a living trust. For instance, in the case of a house, a living trust provides more power and control compared to a will. It clearly mentions the name of the owner and also the person who possess the right of using it. It also states whether the property is allowed to sell, if it is, then how it is to be distributed. In this way, the grantor can make sure how individual beneficiary acquires equal possession over the property. Apart from real estate, other assets that can be placed into the trust include vehicles or boats.

ERADICATE FAMILY FEUDS

It is essential to mention that trusts can reduce the potential conflict among the heirs during the settling of an estate. The trust documents can be customized effortlessly for the sake of the grantor. He has the right of detailing the exact items, as well as monetary amounts that are to be given to the individual beneficiary. This helps a lot in eliminating arguments between the heirs. In fact, a trust can be tailored in such a way that a receiver’s spouse cannot interfere in between without his/her consent.
