A living trust is a legal document that allows you to transfer your assets to a trustee while you are still alive. The trustee then manages and distributes those assets to your beneficiaries according to your wishes after you pass away. Living trusts are often used as an alternative to a will because they allow you to avoid probate.

While there is no specific age at which a person should create a will, it is generally recommended that individuals create one when they reach the age of majority, which is typically 18 years old. This is because at this age, individuals are legally recognized as adults and have the right to make decisions about their property.

When you set up a trust, you transfer ownership of your assets to the trustee, who then manages the assets for the benefit of your beneficiaries. Because the assets are owned by the trust, they don't go through probate when you die. Instead, the trustee simply distributes the assets to the beneficiaries according to the terms of the trust.
