A living trust is an estate planning tool that allows you, the grantor, to transfer your assets into a trust. Once you, the grantor, create a trust, you must assign a trusted individual, known as the trustee, to manage and distribute your assets that are in the trust to your beneficiaries according to your wishes upon your death. There are common misconceptions and myths revolving around living trusts and their functions.

Creating an estate plan can be incredibly stressful and time consuming, but having an estate planning attorney can help to guide you through the process in a competent and caring manner.
