Frequently Asked Questions

What is a living trust?

A living trust is an estate planning document that establishes how selected assets should be managed during your lifetime and distributed afterward. A revocable living trust can generally be updated while you are living. Its effectiveness depends on properly transferring eligible assets into the trust, so deed preparation, account guidance, and other funding steps are important parts of the planning process.
