Homeownership

Do I need a trust if I own my home?

While not legally required, a revocable living trust can provide significant benefits for homeowners. When you transfer your home into a trust, it avoids probate court, which can save your family months of delays and court costs. The trust also allows you to maintain full control of your property during your lifetime while ensuring smooth transfer to your beneficiaries. Without a trust, your home must go through probate, which becomes public record and can tie up the property for extended periods.
