What are Revocable Living Trusts?

There are many reasons that people choose revocable living trusts. For one, trusts avoid probates which are time consuming, a matter of public record, and expensive.

Revocable living trusts can be created to hold property for the benefit of your children (or other beneficiaries) under specific terms you desire.

Additionally, the person you choose to manage the property (the trustee) will provide the financial support for your children under the written direction of the trust instrument. While property is held in trust, the trustee can be given authority to distribute funds to provide your children with an education, cover medical expenses or provide them with their first residence.

In addition, with revocable living trusts, you can direct the trustee to distribute the entire principal or portions of it when a child reaches a certain age.
