A revocable living trust is often the foundation of a strong estate plan.
It can help avoid probate, create continuity during incapacity, and provide a clear path for transferring assets after death. But it is not designed to solve every planning issue.
An RLT does not, by itself, provide asset protection. It does not, by itself, reduce estate taxes.
Another important thing to consider is that the revocable trust must also be properly funded to work as intended.
A revocable living trust is usually a little more expensive than a will to set up, and a little more work on the front end to title assets to the trust. However, your heirs will likely save time and money when you pass away.
