How to Fund a Living Trust – AVOID PROBATE


Knowing how to fund a Living Trust in California is vital to avoid COSTLY probate! Don’t treat your Living Estate like a legal junk drawer—make sure you have what you need in there! Even with a small estate, you can potentially LOSE MILLIONS if you don’t fund your Living Trust correctly as probate fees can really add up quickly!

Correctly funding a Living Trust – where you transfer assets from your name and put them into the name of the trust—is a crucial part of estate planning.

Only an estate planning expert—not a generalist—can show you where the LOST OPPORTUNITIES are to hold on to your money.

• Not putting a house in a Living Trust
