A Revocable Trust or living trust is a legal arrangement used in estate planning that provides for the management and distribution of your property when you die. This will be stated on a Declaration of trust or Trust agreement. The trustor transfers property to the trustee, who holds the property for the beneficiary. The trustee is responsible for holding onto and protecting any and all assets. A living trust can be changed by the person who drew it up, the grantor at any time of their choosing until they are no longer fit or have passed on. Once the grantor is no longer with us, the Trustee takes over and preserves the assets until the heir can claim it. At this time, the Trustee will have to pay taxes and any other expenses with the money set aside.

You can use a living trust to avoid probate court, which also saves time and money at the time of death of the grantor. Living trust avoids the need to go to court to transfer your assets to your beneficiaries, and also offer tax planning and flexibility that many others do not.

Living trusts avoid the court procedure otherwise required to transfer assets to your beneficiaries at death. In addition, a properly formed and administered trust can provide tax-planning flexibility for the beneficiaries, and save estate taxes on your estate when you die. An Irrevocable Trusts is where an agreement has been made that removes the ownership and controls of property and assets from the Grantor. It is usually in the form of a gift of property. It then becomes separate and has its own set of taxes. These trusts are normally income allotted amounts that occur each month until a pre-designated deadline is met.

It is normally done after the taxes are paid and through a gift.
