Living Trust Attorney in Texas

A living trust is a legal device that allows your property to pass to the people you want it to after your death without having to go through the probate process.

It also allows your trustee to immediately take actions when you’re incapacitated. Both you and your spouse can function as your own trustee while you’re alive, willing and able; and, other trustees immediately can take over when you’re incapacitated. There are several advantages to using a living trust – privacy, quickness, asset protection after death, ease of transition, and ease of transfer. At death, the trust is already set up and assets are properly titled. It can be a blessing to remove the difficulties of the probate process. It can be an important tax planning tool as well, depending on the size of the estate.
