A revocable trust, also known as a living trust, is a flexible estate planning tool that allows you to manage your assets during your lifetime and seamlessly transfer them to your beneficiaries after your passing—without the need for probate. Unlike a will, a revocable trust helps maintain privacy and control over your estate.

You may need a revocable trust if:

• You want to avoid probate, which can be time-consuming and costly for your heirs.

• You own real estate or significant assets and want to ensure a smooth transfer to your beneficiaries.

• You want to retain control over your assets during your lifetime but plan for their distribution after your passing.

• You wish to appoint a successor trustee to manage your estate if you become incapacitated.

• You need flexibility—a revocable trust can be changed or revoked as your life circumstances change.

• You want to ensure privacy, as trusts are not subject to public record like wills.

Hutcheson Law Firm can help you draft and structure a revocable trust that meets legal requirements, protects your assets, and ensures your estate is handled according to your wishes. With proper planning, a revocable trust provides peace of mind for you and financial security for your loved ones.
