Living Trust

Learn how living trusts work to manage assets during your lifetime and transfer them to beneficiaries without probate. Explore benefits and key features.

What is a living trust and how does it differ from a will?

A living trust is a legal document that holds your assets during your lifetime and transfers them to beneficiaries after death without probate court involvement. Unlike a will, which only takes effect after death and goes through probate, a living trust allows you to manage assets while alive and provides privacy since it doesn't become public record.
