What Is a Revocable Living Trust?
A Revocable Living Trust is a legal entity you create to hold ownership of your assets. You typically serve as:
- Grantor – The person who creates the trust
- Trustee – The person who manages the trust assets
- Beneficiary – The person who benefits from the trust during your lifetime
Because it is revocable, you can amend, modify, or completely revoke the trust at any time while you are alive and competent.
Upon your passing, a successor trustee steps in to manage and distribute the trust assets according to your instructions without court involvement.
How It Works
- Creation of the Trust Document
The trust outlines how your assets will be managed during your lifetime and distributed after death. - Funding the Trust
Assets such as real estate, bank accounts, and investments are transferred into the trust’s name. - Lifetime Control
You maintain full control over trust assets and can buy, sell, or refinance property as needed. - Administration After Death
The successor trustee distributes assets according to your instructions, typically avoiding probate.
Proper funding is essential. A trust only controls assets that are formally transferred into it.
Key Benefits
- Avoids probate
- Maintains privacy, as trust administration is not public record
- Provides continuity in the event of incapacity
- Allows you to control how and when beneficiaries receive assets
- Can reduce delays and administrative costs

It is often paired with a “pour-over” will and other estate planning documents for comprehensive coverage.
