A Living Trust, if well written, can help you avoid the expense and lengthy process of Living Probate. There is a section in the Living Trust that lays out exactly how you want your estate and health care to be handled in the that event you’re unable to manage your assets yourself. Your fellow trustees are bound by law to follow your instructions, so the probate court doesn’t have to assume a role in your life. This relieves your family of the stress of working with the courts, plus leaves you with the assurance that things will be handled according to your wishes.
