Creating And Reviewing Revocable Trusts

DAL Law Firm can help you create the estate plan that is right for you with a revocable living trust. A revocable living trust is used to protect your assets and avoid probate. Our office can work 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 it 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, a revocable living trust empowers your successor trustee to make such distributions, whereas a will does not and will require the oversight and approval of a probate court.
• A revocable living trust is created during your lifetime, and you have complete control of it.
• A revocable living trust continues to exist after your passing, to allow your successor trustee to make distributions according to your revocable living trust.

Our revocable living trust services include:

• An initial consultation to assess your assets, discuss your wants and needs, explain how a revocable living trust works, and help you decide if one is right for you
• Prepare your revocable living trust, which is specifically tailored for you, keeping in mind your wants and needs we discussed in our initial consultation
• Unlimited reviews and revisions to ensure that your revocable living trust accurately reflects your requests
• Execution of your revocable living trust, including the witnesses and notary necessary

A revocable living trust can be a useful tool based on the type of assets, as long as the assets are properly maintained in the revocable living trust. In our initial consultation, we assess the type of assets the person owns, as we want to ensure that such a trust is the right option for their situation.
