🔑 You bought the house. You got the keys. The boxes are finally unpacked
But there may be one more thing to think about:
Does your new home fit into your estate plan?
If you already have a living trust, buying a new property is a good time to make sure the ownership of that property coordinates with your plan.
Why does that matter?
A trust only controls property that is properly connected to it. California Courts notes that property placed in a living trust can generally pass to beneficiaries without going through probate.
Buying a home is a major life event. 🏡
It's also a great time to take another look at your estate plan.
