Trusts
A revocable living trust is an agreement between you and your self-appointed successor trustee on managing and distributing assets titled in the trust's name. You control trust assets during your lifetime. Your trustee acts on your behalf and according to your instructions, without court involvement, upon your incapacity or death.
A properly drafted and funded trust avoids probate, protects your family's interests and prevents public disclosure of your assets and beneficiaries.
