REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST

Protect Your Assets. Avoid Probate. Keep Your Wishes Private.

A Revocable Living Trust gives you a flexible way to manage your assets during your lifetime and provide clear instructions for what happens to them after your death.

When properly created and funded, a trust can help your family avoid probate for assets held in the trust, maintain greater privacy, and make it easier to manage those assets if you become unable to do so yourself.

You remain in control of your trust during your lifetime and can generally change or revoke it as your circumstances change.

Flexible. Private. Built for the future.

A comprehensive option for individuals and families who want more control over how their assets are managed and transferred.

BENEFITS

Why Choose a Revocable Living Trust

Avoid Probate

When properly funded, assets held in a trust can generally pass according to the trust’s terms without going through probate—saving your family time and keeping the process more private.

Plan for Incapacity

A trust can provide instructions for how trust assets are managed if you become unable to manage them yourself, helping provide continuity without unnecessary disruption.

Create Clear Rules and Conditions

You can provide instructions for how and when assets are distributed, including:

  • Ages for distributions

  • Staggered distributions

  • Instructions for children or other beneficiaries

  • Conditions or protections appropriate for your plan

Maintain Control

With a revocable living trust, you generally remain in control during your lifetime and can amend or revoke the trust as your circumstances change.

Protect Your Privacy

Probate proceedings can become part of the public record. Assets transferred through a properly funded trust can generally be administered outside probate, providing greater privacy for your family and estate.
