Your Revocable Living Trust
A will may not be the best plan for you and your family as a will does not avoid probate when you die. A will must be validated by the probate court before it can be enforced.

 

A will can only go into effect after you die, it provides no protection if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. So the court could easily take control of your assets before you die.

 

There is a simple and proven alternative to a will; the revocable living trust. It avoids probate and lets you keep control of your assets while you are living if you become incapacitated, and allows your heirs to effectively manage your assets and estate after you die.

 

When you set up a living trust, you transfer assets from your name to the name of your trust, which you control and manage. You still keep full control of your estate. As a trustee of your trust, you can do anything you could do before -- buy and sell assets, change or even cancel your trust. That's why it's called a revocable living trust. You even file the same tax returns. Nothing changes but the names on the titles.


What is a Will? 
A Will is a written legal document by which a person, the Testator (person who made the Will), expresses their wishes as to how and to whom (Beneficiaries) their property is to be distributed at death. The Will also names one or more persons as the Executor. This is the person who will manage your affairs and will file with the Court for the Probate process.

What is Probate (the short and dirty version)?
Probate is the court-supervised, legal process in which the affairs of a deceased person are settled.
Society wants to protect deceased people's things. So when a person passes away, those assets, accounts, and debts that a person once had are locked down and closed by the financial institutions. This is so someone can't just walk in and take a deceased person's things, rack up debt, or take assets that they may not be entitled to. The Probate process is the court process in which your heirs (if you don't have a Will), or Executor (if you have a Will), will file paperwork with the Court in which the Decedent (the person who passed) was a resident.

The Probate Process:
After a person passes, the Will is submitted (Lodged with) the Court. States have different timelines in which to do this. For example, Nevada is within 30 days after the person has passed. The Executor will then file a series of documents (Petition) with the Court to begin the probate process.

The Will is just the "instructions" to the Court.
