SECTION 4: FOR LIVING TRUSTS ONLY.

A Revocable Living Trust is an entity that survives your passing away. All property you transfer to your trust will pass ion to your heirs without going through the court process of probate which may take years and could result in a substantial amount of legal and court fees. Since this trust is revocable, it can be changed at any time during your life and you are in total control of your property until you die. If you are married, your trust can leave your assets to your spouse upon your death with the final resting place of the property being with your final beneficiaries, such as your children. In order to benefit fully from the trust, all your property must be formally moved into the trust. This includes bank and investment accounts, real property, personal property and ALL property, provided there is no beneficiary already designated. To transfer real property (house, land, farm), you need to file a quit claim deed with the county recorder. To transfer bank and brokerage accounts, you must check with the institution as to how to formally transfer the property into the trust. Usually a letter or form will suffice, but every institution has different requirements.

You must name a successor trustee(s). You are the trustee of your living trust during your lifetime. When you pass away, a successor trustee is appointed to manage the trust. You may name a trustee and an alternate trustee. The successor trustee should be the same person as the executor of your estate you have named in your Will.
