Probably the most common mistake is the failure to properly “fund” the trust. That means that the clients failed to re-title their assets in the name of the trust. Another common mistake is the failure to properly consider the role and responsibility of the successor trustee and choosing someone who is not properly trained. Another mistake is to have a trust that may fit the needs of someone else, but not your situation. It is very dangerous to create your own trust from a computer-generated “one trust fits all” form. That is why it is important that your trust be properly drafted by an attorney concentrated in estate planning.
