FAQ
🔹 What is a Living Trust?
A Living Trust is a legal document that lets you transfer ownership of your assets into a trust while you’re alive — and manage how they’re distributed after your death. It helps avoid probate and ensures your wishes are honored.
🔹 Do I need an attorney to prepare my Living Trust?
Not necessarily. Our service guides you through the process step-by-step, without the high legal fees. However, you may choose to consult a licensed attorney if your situation is complex or if you want professional legal advice.
What should I do after creating a Living Trust?
Once your Living Trust is created, you’ll need to fund it — which means transferring ownership of your assets (like your home, bank accounts, or investments) into the trust. We provide clear instructions to help you complete this step.
Why shouldn’t I add my children directly to my property deed?
Adding children to your deed can lead to tax consequences, legal complications, and loss of control. A Living Trust is a safer way to pass on your property while protecting everyone’s interests.
Why should I have a Living Trust?
A Living Trust gives you control, privacy, and peace of mind. It helps avoid probate court, keeps your affairs private, allows faster distribution of assets, and can help minimize family disputes.
Does a Living Trust help save taxes or protect assets from creditors?
A standard Living Trust does not provide tax advantages or asset protection from creditors. However, it can simplify estate settlement and help reduce legal fees. For asset protection or tax-saving strategies, advanced planning may be required.
