Living Trusts


Created by: Joseph Owen

"Over the last two decades, the popularity of Living Trusts has skyrocketed.  No longer a tool just for the rich, Living Trusts are one of the most common estate planning tools in use today.

This legal arrangement, usually drafted by an estate attorney, creates a separate entity called a Living Trust.  A Living Trust is called that simply because it is created while you're alive (as opposed to a "testamentary" trust created after death)."

The article continues to go in depth about certain aspects of Living Trusts such as; parties involved, history of the trusts, who needs them, funding your Living Trust, and reducing estate taxes.
