Frequently Asked Questions

While it's possible to create a Living Trust using this kit without a lawyer, consulting with a legal professional can provide additional assurance that your trust meets all legal requirements and accurately reflects your intentions.
Most types of assets can be placed in a Living Trust, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal property. However, certain assets like retirement accounts may require different handling.
Funding your Living Trust involves transferring ownership of your assets into the trust. This can include changing titles on real estate and updating beneficiary designations on financial accounts.
