What is a Revocable Living Trust?
A Revocable Living Trust, also known as a "Living Trust" or "Revocable Trust," is a flexible estate planning tool allowing you to manage your assets both during your lifetime and after your death. This is the type of trust we offer in the Trust-Based Estate Plan.
Irrevocable Trusts are fairly uncommon, and not typically used in most types of estate planning. Many people tend to think of an Irrevocable Trust, but are really looking for a Revocable Trust. Revocable Trusts account for about 95% of all trusts created.
