Helping Avoid The Challenges Of Probate

Many people are aware of the potential difficulties that can occur when an estate goes through the court-supervised probate process, such as:

  • Court costs
  • Delays in distribution of assets
  • The public nature of the probate process

Finding an effective way to avoid those challenges is a top priority for many people as they begin working through their estate planning goals. Living/revocable trusts (also known as grantor trusts) can help people avoid probate, as well as provide other benefits, including:

  • Privacy
  • Ease of transition during life due to incapacity
  • Proper identification and titling of all assets

A trust can be established upon a person’s death or while he or she is alive. A trust that is established and made effective during a person’s life is referred to as a living trust. Trusts can be revocable or irrevocable. A revocable trust allows the grantor to change and amend the provisions of the trust when desired.
