DAL Law can help you in creating the estate plan which is right for you with a Revocable Living Trust. A Revocable Living Trust is used to protect your assets and avoid probate. Our office works with you in ensuring that a Revocable Living Trust is right for you.
In determining whether a Revocable Living Trust is right for you, it is important to understand what a Revocable Living Trust is. In our initial consultation, we will discuss this in more detail, but a brief overview is provided below.
The largest difference between a Revocable Living Trust and a Will is that a will requires Probate, and a Revocable Living Trust does not. While both a Revocable Living Trust and a Will leave instructions for your loved ones regarding the administration and distribution of your estate, the Revocable Living Trust empowers your Successor Trustee to make such distributions, whereas the Will does not and will require the oversight and approval from a Probate Court.
A Revocable Living Trust is created during your lifetime, and you have complete control of the Revocable Living Trust. A Revocable Living Trust continues to exist after your passing, to allow your Successor Trustee to make the distributions according to your Revocable Living Trust
