Unveiling the Power of Living Trusts: Top 5 Advantages and How to Create a Living Trust Online

Updated: Sep 16, 2023


Top 5 Advantages and How to Create a Living Trust Online

Living trusts are powerful tools for estate planning. They hold the assets of the trust creator for their benefit during their lifetime, and upon their death, these assets are transferred to designated beneficiaries by a "successor trustee," the person chosen by the trust creator. But what makes them so beneficial? What can a living trust do for you? And how can you create a living trust online? In this post, we’ll explore the top five advantages of a living trust and explain how you can easily set one up online at www.299trust.com.


1. A Living Trust Avoids Probate

Probate is a court-supervised process of distributing a deceased person's estate, which can be lengthy and costly. By establishing a living trust, you can avoid probate as the successor trustee distributes assets according to your instructions without court intervention. This results in faster and more efficient distribution to your heirs.


2. A Living Trust Can Save Money

While creating a living trust may initially be more expensive than drafting a last will and testament, the potential savings in the long run can make it a worthwhile investment. A living trust can save money by avoiding probate expenses at your death, and it can hold up better against any potential contestation of asset distribution, saving your estate further costs.


3. A Living Trust Protects Your Privacy

Unlike a will, which becomes part of the public record, a living trust is a private document. This means that no one can search public records to find out more about the distribution of your estate, preserving your privacy even after your death.


4. A Living Trust Assists in the Event of Incapacitation

If you were to become ill or incapacitated, the person you have chosen as successor trustee can step in and manage your affairs without the intervention of a court. This helps you avoid a court-appointed conservatorship for your affairs and ensures that you have control over who manages your assets and decisions.


5. A Living Trust Provides Certainty and Peace of Mind

A well-drafted living trust provides a clear plan for all of your assets. It can help prevent unintentional disinheritance, provide long-term care for a loved one with special needs, and protect assets from certain people. Knowing that your estate will be handled exactly as you wish can give you peace of mind now and provide certainty and comfort to your loved ones in the future.
