Make Your Living Trust

Save your family time, money, and headaches

You can use a living trust to keep your estate out of probate and distribute property after you die. But how do you know whether a living trust is right for you, how do you get one, and what other documents do you need? Make Your Living Trust addresses these concerns and more by explaining:

• 
  

• what probate is (and why to avoid it)
• 
  
• how living trusts work
• 
  
• why you might not need a living trust
• 
  
• the pros and cons of making a living trust without a lawyer
• 
  
• what kinds of property go into a living trust, and
• 
  
• how to choose a successor trustee.
• 
  

This book explains how to make a living trust--on your own or with help from an attorney. It also covers other aspects of your estate plan, like what to do with your digital assets and why you still need to make a will, financial power of attorney, and health care directive.
