Living Trusts are an important part of the estate plan. Living Trusts avoid costly probate at your death and simplify settlement of your estate. If the living trust is written properly, sophisticated provisions can be made to assure your wishes are carried out. Living trusts also have the advantage of keeping your financial affairs from being made public knowledge upon your death, unlike a conventional will.
