A revocable trust allows you to transfer all or part of your assets during your lifetime. One of the advantages of a revocable living trust is that you retain the power to remove or sell the assets and to change or revoke the trust at anytime. A revocable trust provides for the management and distribution of your assets during your lifetime and even after your death.
A revocable trust is often promoted as a means of avoiding probate and saving taxes at death. Some of the pros of having a revocable trust are: 1) that the revocable trust usually provides for a seamless and faster transfer of decision-making and asset management power in the event of your incapacity or death, and 2) a revocable trust avoids the time and expense associated with the probate process. However, you should take into consideration that the legal fees of setting up a trust are generally higher than those for just having a will.
