How does putting my house in a trust protect it from lawsuits?
When you transfer your home into a revocable living trust, it can help avoid probate but doesn't provide protection from creditors or lawsuits during your lifetime since you retain control. For lawsuit protection, some families explore irrevocable trusts or other asset protection strategies, though these involve giving up direct ownership. Each approach has different trade-offs between protection and control that families weigh based on their specific situation and risk tolerance.
