Book Description
One of the fastest ways to transfer property after your death is through a living trust because trusts are not required to go through probate court. In addition to saving time and avoiding probate costs, a trust lets you control who will receive property after you die. "8 Living Trust Forms" helps you create your own living trust forms to meet your needs. You'll discover how to: avoid probate, distribute property quickly, keep property distributions private, provide an alternative to creating a will, ensure your possessions will be distributed as you wish, reduce the potential family conflicts, and much more. For many people, a will is their first choice for passing on property to their loved ones, but it's not the only document that should be considered. Both a will and living trust contain your inheritance instructions, meaning they state who gets what property, when they will get it, and how they will get it. To create a living trust, a lawyer is not required or necessary, especially for simple living trusts. All you really need is a little bit of intelligence and the right information. A living trust can be an important part--and in some cases, the most important part--of your estate. A living trust can help ensure that your assets are managed according to your wishes, even if you become unable to manage the trusts yourself. Sample Living Trust Forms Include: Single Person Living Trust Married Living Trust Married AB Living Trust Florida Witness Statement for Living Trust Assignment of Property to a Living Trust Affidavit of Assumption of Duties by Successor Trustee Living Trust Amendment Revocation of Living Trust Checklist The Legal Self-Help Guide series provides information to those who want to understand their legal rights and responsibilities in an effort to resolve legal problems or know enough to feel confident in their decision to retain legal counsel.
