Frequently Asked Questions
What is a revocable living trust?
A revocable living trust is created during life and can generally be amended or revoked by the grantor while the grantor has capacity. State law and the trust document control its operation.
Does a revocable living trust avoid probate?
Assets properly transferred to the trust may avoid probate. Assets left outside the trust may still require probate unless another valid transfer method applies.
Does a revocable trust protect my assets from creditors?
Generally, retaining control through a revocable trust does not place the grantor’s assets beyond the grantor’s creditors. Asset-protection claims require individualized legal advice.
Can I remain trustee of my own living trust?
Often, yes. Many grantors serve as initial trustee and name one or more successor trustees to act after incapacity, resignation, or death, subject to the document and applicable law.
Does USABA draft trusts or provide legal or tax advice?
No. USABA provides business consulting, planning support, and professional coordination. Trust instruments and specialized legal or tax advice must come from qualified independent professionals.
