Understanding Living Trusts

A living trust is a legal document that places your assets into a trust during your lifetime, then transfers them to your beneficiaries when you pass away.

Usage Guidelines

Quick reference for design consistency

Do

  • Use CSS variables for colors (e.g., var(--st-primary-blue))
  • Use sharp edges (no border-radius) on buttons and form inputs
  • Apply rounded-2xl to content cards only
  • Use Bellota only for italic headline accents
  • Use shadow-xl for cards, shadow-2xl for hover states
  • Maintain 1.6 line height for body text

Don't

  • Hardcode hex values when CSS variables exist
  • Add rounded corners to buttons or form fields
  • Use Bellota for body text or non-italic headings
  • Mix border radius sizes inconsistently
  • Skip the hover elevation effect on interactive cards
  • Use Inter weights outside 400-700 range
