A trust is an agreement in which one person (the grantor) transfers property
to a second person (the trustee) for the benefit of a third person
(the beneficiary).
A revocable living trust allows the grantor to name
either himself or some other person as trustee or co-trustee, reserves his right
to revoke the trust at any time and return the property to himself, and lets the
grantor control distribution of his estate to his beneficiary upon the grantor's
death. A revocable living trust is created while the grantor is alive, rather
than upon his death under terms of his will.
A living trust lets you control the distribution of your estate. You simply
transfer ownership of your property and your assets into the trust, then serve
as its trustee or select a person or an insti-tution to be its trustee. With a
living trust, the person you appoint to handle the trust after your death - the
successor trustee - simply transfers ownership to the beneficiaries you
named in the trust. Much of the time, this can be accomplished in a few weeks.
When all of the property has been transferred to the beneficiaries, the living
trust ceases to exist.

The big reason to have a living trust is to avoid the detour of probate
court
in distributing your estate to its beneficiaries.

Probate, which may drag on for months, is the court-supervised process of paying
your debts and distributing your property to the people who inherit it.
By avoiding probate court, you eliminate its associated legal fees and expenses,
make sure that your estate goes to the beneficiares you have chosen, prevent the
emotional trauma of a complicated probate court procedure, eliminate time delays
in settling your estate, and assure uninterrupted income and access to principal
for family beneficiaries.
