What is a Living Trust?
A Living Trust is a legal document that allows you to place your assets in a trust during your lifetime and designate how they should be distributed after your death.
Unlike a will, a Living Trust allows your estate to bypass probate, saving your loved ones time, money, and stress during an already difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about living trusts and our services.
What is the difference between a will and a living trust?
A will is a legal document that directs who will receive your property upon your death and appoints a legal representative to carry out your wishes. A living trust holds your assets and property while you're alive and transfers them to your beneficiaries after your death, avoiding the probate process. Unlike a will, a living trust is private and takes effect immediately.
Do I need both a will and a trust?
Yes, it's often recommended to have both. A living trust covers assets transferred into it, but a pour-over will serves as a safety net for any assets not included in your trust. The will can direct those assets into your trust upon your death.
How does a living trust avoid probate?
Assets in a living trust are owned by the trust, not by you personally. Since the trust doesn't die when you do, the assets can be distributed directly to your beneficiaries according to your instructions without going through probate court.
Is a living trust public record?
No, unlike a will which becomes public record during probate, a living trust remains private. The terms of your trust and the identity of your beneficiaries are not made public.
