Can creditors go after assets in a revocable living trust?
Yes, creditors can typically access assets in a revocable living trust to satisfy debts of the trust creator (grantor). During your lifetime, revocable trusts offer no creditor protection because you maintain complete control over the assets. After death, the trust assets may still be subject to creditor claims against your estate, though specific protections vary by state. Some states have statutes that limit the time creditors have to make claims against trust assets after death.
