A Revocable Living Trust is a legal document that holds title or ownership to your real property and other assets. When you create a Revocable Living Trust you transfer ownership of your assets to the trust. Transferring assets is typically called "funding." When you transfer title you DO NOT relinquish any control. You can still buy, sell, borrow or transfer.

It includes the details and instructions for how you want your estate to be handled at your death, and who will have the authority to do so.  However, unlike a Will a properly funded trust:

• Does not go through probate.
• Prevents the courts from controlling your assets at incapacity.
• Gives you control over the assets you leave to your minor children or grandchildren.
