Living Trust Or Living Will?

Why Have A Living Trust?

The answer is simple, A Living Trust prevents assets (like your home) from being seized by probate court upon your passing and is completely private.  In addition, a quality living trust provides for a smooth transition of assets upon your passing by naming beneficiaries.  Moreover, there is a reason why it's called a living trust.

If you are married, then someday one of you will be left. If you are alone and later become disabled or hospitalized, the documents included with your trust state who will have legal authority over your accounts and also who will make medical decisions until you get better.  Even better, you will have made all the complex medical decisions in advance.  The person you chose to enforce your decisions will be required to do so. If you don't name someone in advance, then the courts decide who gets this authority.  

The documents that help you when disabled are called financial and medical powers of attorney.  This again, is the "living" part of living trust. A living trust is very difficult to contest. A good trust will have a "poison pill" (and ours does), which states that anyone contesting their share or contesting the trust shall receive $1.00.  Lastly, a good living trust will name both a primary & secondary guardian for those with children under 18.

Why Not Just Have A Living Will?

While a Living trust is private, a living will is not private. In fact, a living will guarantees probate, and anyone who wants to see your will can do so.  Moreover, the courts require a public announcement requesting possible heirs come forward. If they do, and are not listed in the living will, then they can contest the will and tie up the estate for years, thus eating up your hard earned nest egg to pay court & legal fees. Even worse, the beneficiaries listed in the living will can easily contest their share, asking for more. Finally, A living will does not include financial and medical powers of attorney, and does not include a document naming primary & secondary guardians for children under 18.

Michael G. Crupi, Founder
"My parents found The Trust Pros, and had their Living Trust completed by the company founder, Michael Crupi, in 2009. Soon after, both parents passed away within months of each other. Through the most devastating event of my life, The Trust Pros prepared all the necessary documents and helped me transfer their entire estate as prescribed in my parents trust. Since that time, I have also purchased a Living Trust from The Trust Pros. To put it bluntly, they put my life in order, and I am grateful."
Richard A. Reed, Van Nuys, CA


"We made an attempt at completing our family’s living trust through LegalZoom but never really felt sure that the results of our effort were 100% accurate. I contacted TrustPros a few months ago and Michael spent quality time with my wife and I in the comfort of our home & patiently explained every aspect of the living trust.  His knowledge, experience and professionalism made the entire process and ultimate completion of our living trust a real pleasure."
