Basic Questions about Living Trusts


How does a Living Trust avoid Probate?

The Living Revocable Trust (Intervivos Trust) avoids probate, by transferring title, by operation of law, to the trustee of the trust. Title to all trust assets is passed to the trustee automatically, without any court involvement. The trustee is then obligated, under fiduciary responsibility, to transfer assets or administer assets for the benefit of the trust beneficiaries.
