Revocable Trusts
A revocable living trust is a versatile and powerful estate planning tool that allows you to maintain full control of your assets during your lifetime while ensuring a smooth, private, and efficient transfer of wealth to your beneficiaries upon your death. Unlike a will, assets held in a revocable trust pass to beneficiaries without going through probate — avoiding delays, costs, and public disclosure of your estate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both direct the distribution of your assets at death, but a revocable trust avoids probate for assets held in the trust, provides privacy (trusts are not public records), and can manage your assets if you become incapacitated. A will must go through probate and becomes a public document.
Yes — that is what makes it revocable. You can amend, restate, or revoke the trust at any time during your lifetime as long as you have legal capacity. This flexibility makes revocable trusts ideal for most estate planning situations.
Yes. Even with a revocable trust, you should have a pour-over will to capture any assets that were not transferred into the trust during your lifetime. The pour-over will directs those assets into the trust at death so they are distributed according to the trust terms.
