Is a Living Trust right for you?

Despite what you may have heard, there is no hard and fast rule to determine when you should use a living trust as part of your estate plan.  One of the main reasons a person executes a living trust is to avoid the expense and delays associated with administering your estate through the probate court.  These fees can easily reach thousands of dollars in court costs and attorney fees. 

A living trust is a document that is signed during your lifetime where you maintain complete control over your assets for as long as you are alive and competent.  At your death, your successor trustee distributes your assets according to the plan you set forth in your living trust.  All of this happens without the need for probate court proceedings.

Some people feel that if they have a Last Will and Testament, their loved ones do not need to involve lawyers and the probate court.  This is wrong.  If you have assets in your own name, a Will won't avoid the probate court.  On the contrary, you can think of a properly executed Will as your "admission ticket" to court.  A personal representative must be appointed and your estate will have to be administered in the probate court for the county in which you lived at the time of your death.  A properly drafted and executed revocable living trust can avoid this.
