Frequently Asked Questions

A revocable living trust is a legal document that holds your assets during your lifetime. You remain in full control and can change or revoke it at any time. After death, assets in the trust pass to your beneficiaries without going through probate court.

Yes. Assets held in a revocable living trust bypass Kansas probate entirely. Full probate in Kansas typically takes 9-15 months. Only assets titled in your individual name at death go through probate — assets in a trust do not.

Most people with a trust also use a pour-over will. This catches any assets not transferred to the trust during your lifetime and directs them into the trust at death.

Yes. A revocable trust can be amended or revoked at any time while you are alive and competent. You can add or remove assets, change beneficiaries, or update trustees as your circumstances change.

No. You can establish a revocable trust under the laws of any state, regardless of where you live. The trust is governed by the law of the state named in the trust document. You will still need to follow your home state's rules when transferring specific assets like real estate into the trust.

No. SimplyTrust is not a law firm. This tool provides general information about trust and estate planning options. Consult a licensed attorney for guidance specific to your needs.

Avoiding Probate in Kansas

Whether a revocable trust makes sense for Kansas residents depends on estate size, asset types, and goals. Everyone needs a will — the question is whether a trust adds enough value to justify the cost.

Kansas allows simplified probate for estates under $75,000. Estates below this threshold can often avoid full probate with a will alone. Full probate in Kansas typically takes 9-15 months.

SimplyTrust offers a Nevada revocable trust, which is recognized in all 50 states. Nevada trust law provides strong asset protection, no state income tax on trust income, and well-established case law. A Nevada trust avoids Kansas probate the same way any revocable trust would — by holding assets outside of the probate estate.

Many Kansas families use both: a revocable living trust for primary assets and a pour-over will as a backup to catch anything not transferred to the trust.
